The documentary marks one of the few times WWE is officially breaking 'kayfabe' - the term referring to the illusion wrestling is legitimately competitive as opposed to staged. WWE chief content officer Triple H says in the trailer, linked below, "it's time."
Here are the key details about WWE: Unreal.
What is WWE: Unreal About?
Netflix's official synopsis reads: "For the first time ever, step beyond the ring and into the WWE writer's room, where the drama is just as intense offstage as it is under the spotlight."
It's a warts-and-all look inside how WWE employees - both in front of the camera and behind it - work around the clock, 365 days a year, to produce the biggest wrestling show in the world.
Who is in WWE: Unreal?
The company's biggest stars will feature in WWE: Unreal. These include John Cena, Rhea Ripley, Cody Rhodes, and Logan Paul. The current roster features 276 wrestlers, and while that's far too many for them all to get a look in, here's the complete list of everyone who appeared in the debut trailer:
• John Cena
• Rhea Ripley
• Cody Rhodes
• Logan Paul
• Rey Mysterio
• Jey Uso
• Jimmy Uso
• Bron Brakker
• Roman Reigns
• Solo Sikoa

WWE: Unreal Release Date
WWE: Unreal premieres on Netflix this summer. There's been no specific date yet. WWE might choose to drop the series ahead of its big Summer show, Summerslam, to act as promotion. Summerslam airs Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3, 2025.
WWE: Unreal Where to Watch
You can watch WWE: Unreal only on Netflix. It's part of a growing partnership with the streamer. This kicked off in January 2025 with Raw, which streams live on Netflix on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
How Many Episodes in WWE: Unreal?
There are ten episodes of WWE: Unreal. As with the majority of Netflix releases, these will likely premiere on the same day in Summer 2025, so you can binge the entire first season in one sitting from day one.

It Starts On The Page (Limited): Read ‘Black Mirror' Episode 705 Script 'Eulogy' With Foreword By Charlie Brooker
Editor's note: Deadline's It Starts on the Page (Limited) features 10 standout limited or anthology series scripts in 2025 Emmy contention. In Season 7 of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror, the dystopian sci-fi anthology series for Netflix continues to evolve the increasingly real tech depicted, especially the growing applications and implications of AI from Hollywood to everyday life. More from Deadline 'Black Mirror' Creator Charlie Brooker On 'USS Callister' Sequel, Paying Homage To Black-And-White Movies & Watching AI With 'Impressed Awe & Rising Horror' Carla Gugino Joins Brad Pitt In 'Cliff Booth' Movie From Netflix And David Fincher Teyana Taylor, Ben Marshall, Zach Cherry & Kam Patterson Join Netflix's Kevin Hart Comedy '72 Hours' Written by Brooker and Ella Road and directed by Chris Barrett and Luke Taylor, the season's fifth episode, 'Eulogy', stars Paul Giamatti as Phillip, a man contacted by a tech company called Eulogy, informing him of the death of his ex-girlfriend Carol and seeking to collect immersive photo memories. With the help of The Guide (Patsy Ferran), Phillip is able to use technology to walk through his memories. As none of the photos are usable, with Carol's image defaced in each, Phillip is left with only the painful memories of their downfall as he struggles to remember their good times. Meanwhile, the mysterious Guide helps him uncover a buried truth about his former relationship. Here is the script for 'Eulogy' with an intro by Brooker, in which he discusses how he got to collaborate with Road on the 'bittersweet and heartbroken' love story, shares the initial inspiration for the episode reflected in Carol's name, and reveals how Giamatti's casting changed the original plan for the character. Why do old photos feel more evocative than anything taken in today's smartphone-and-photostream era? I think it's a combination of scarcity and imperfection. Pre 2010 or so, you might have had a handful of snapshots to cover an entire decade of your life – and many of them would've been a little blurred, or out of focus, filled with red-eye and half-obscured by thumbs. The flaws make them more evocative somehow. That's why if I ran Apple – which just to be clear I don't – I'd implement an optional mode that automatically limits the number of photos you can take on any given day and randomly degrades them into the bargain, to make revisiting them later a more rewarding experience. Our episode 'Eulogy' came about after Black Mirror EP Jessica Rhoades read Ella Road's play The Phlebotomist and suggested her as a potential co-conspirator. Ella and I sat down for a long lunch and discussed areas we were interested in, stress-testing them as potential Black Mirror stories. We quickly zeroed in on memory, particularly how old photographs and music can evoke a time and place. The idea of using tech to throw someone inside a set of old images soon followed — with the aim being to create a 'cathartic, therapeutic tearjerker.' At first it was a little like Dickens' A Christmas Carol – hence Philip's lost love being literally named Carol. We pictured Philip being led through memories which played out around him in real time, with conversations and arguments and people storming out of rooms. But that began to feel a little TOO Christmas Carol. Keeping everyone frozen in place not only kept it focussed (and more eerie), it fundamentally shifted the story, into a tight, high-concept two-hander in which Philip chases a forgotten memory of Carol's face. We always knew there would be a transatlantic element to the story; originally Philip was a gruff Mancunian while The Guide was American. When we discussed casting Paul Giamatti's name was mentioned, and I almost leapt out of my chair — he's one of my favourite actors of all time. So we flipped it, retooling the character in his image. Unbeknownst to me, Paul was a fan of the show. He said when he read the script, knowing this was Black Mirror, he was waiting for some horrendous shoe to drop. But that's not what happens. This is a love story. It's bittersweet and heartbroken. But ultimately it's kind to its inhabitants. Paul and co-star Patsy Ferran knocked it out of the park, as did directing duo Chris Barrett and Luke Taylor. The ending hits me like a bus every single time I see it. Mission accomplished. Charlie Brooker Black Mirror's Emmy haul so far includes three wins for Outstanding TV Movie and two writing trophies out of three nominations. Read the script below.

‘Land Of The Lost' Series Reboot In Works At Netflix From Legendary Television
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is looking to remake another classic TV series. The streamer has closed a deal with Legendary Television for Land of the Lost, a reboot of Sid and Marty Krofft's 1974 sci-fi adventure show, Deadline has learned. Sid and Marty Krofft as well as Marty's daughter Deanna Krofft Pope, who is COO at their company, will produce the project, which is in very early stages, sources said. Search is underway for a writer. Reps for Netflix and Legendary TV declined comment. More from Deadline Spencer Milligan Dies: 'Land Of The Lost' Star Was 86 2025 Premiere Dates For New & Returning Series On Broadcast, Cable & Streaming Netflix Strikes "New Kind Of Partnership" To Carry TF1 Stations In France Land of the Lost centers on a father, Rick, and his two children who accidentally go through a portal and find themselves trapped in a world inhabited by dinosaurs, including a Tyrannosaurus rex they nickname Grumpy; primate-like people named Pakuni, one of whom, Cha-Ka, they befriend; and reptilian humanoids called Sleestak. Land of the Lost originated as a children's series which aired on NBC Saturday mornings for three seasons from 1974 to 1976, with CBS giving it a summer run in 1985 and 1987. In it, Rick was played by Spencer Milligan, with Wesley Eure and Kathy Coleman as his kids, Will and Holly, respectively. Stop-motion animation was used for some of the creatures. Despite its relatively short run, Land of the Lost achieved cult status, keeping the title relevant. That led to a 1991 series remake, which aired for two seasons on ABC, and a 2009 feature film starring Will Ferrell. Sid and Marty Krofft produced both. While it does not have the extensive library traditional TV studios do, Netflix has taken on a few classic series titles. The streamer is currently filming a new Little House On the Prairie and previously rebooted Lost In Space and One Day At a Time. Legendary Television's current slate includes Dune: Prophecy at HBO, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters at Apple TV+ and the animated Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft at Netflix as well as Tomb Raider and Pacific Rim live-action series and an adaptation of Girls and Their Horses with Nicole Kidman — all in development at Amazon.
