In an exciting development for sports fans and Buckeye Nation alike, Netflix has announced plans to produce a new documentary spotlighting the Ohio State University Buckeyes football program. The upcoming series, currently titled “Scarlet and Grit: The Story of the Buckeyes”, promises an in-depth look into the rich history, fierce rivalries, and enduring traditions that define one of college football’s most iconic teams.
According to sources close to the project, the documentary will blend archival footage, behind-the-scenes access, and exclusive interviews with former players, coaches, and fans. The series will explore pivotal moments in the Buckeyes’ legacy—from their first national championship in 1942 to their most recent playoff runs—alongside personal stories that highlight the culture and community around the team.
Netflix representatives say the project aims to capture more than just wins and losses. “This is about passion, legacy, and what it means to wear the scarlet and gray,” said executive producer Amanda Reyes. “Ohio State isn’t just a football team. It’s a way of life for millions.”
The university has confirmed its cooperation with the production and has granted access to its archives, training facilities, and several current players. Fans can expect the documentary to feature never-before-seen content and candid moments from inside the program.
The documentary is scheduled for release in early 2026 and will be available exclusively on Netflix.
Buckeye fans—get ready to relive the glory.
