ANN ARBOR, MI — July 22, 2025 — College football fans and documentary lovers alike are in for a treat as Netflix officially releases its much-anticipated new series: “Blue Blood: The Rise of the Michigan Wolverines.” The docuseries, which dropped globally today, takes an unfiltered, emotionally-charged look inside the resurgence of the Michigan Wolverines football program and the power, passion, and perseverance behind one of college football’s most iconic teams.
Produced in collaboration with ESPN Films and directed by Emmy Award-winner Ava Stone, Blue Blood offers unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the Wolverines’ historic 2024 season — one that saw them dominate the Big Ten, reclaim national prominence, and capture the hearts of fans across the country.
The multi-episode series features interviews with head coach Sherrone Moore, star quarterback JJ McCarthy, Heisman finalist Donovan Edwards, and a host of Wolverines legends and alumni, including Charles Woodson and Tom Brady. Cameras followed the team from early spring workouts through the emotional rollercoaster of rivalry games, bowl contention, and the College Football Playoff chase.
“This series is more than football,” Moore said at the premiere screening in Ann Arbor. “It’s about brotherhood, legacy, and proving that the Block M still stands for greatness.”
Netflix has described the documentary as “raw, real, and electrifying,” capturing not only the physical intensity of the game but also the personal sacrifices and triumphs of the young men who wear the maize and blue.
Fans can expect everything from fiery halftime speeches and emotional locker room moments to in-depth explorations of Michigan’s recruitment strategy, game-day culture, and off-field impact. Notably, the docuseries also spotlights the Wolverines’ impact on the community, their academic achievements, and the unity that defines the Michigan spirit.
Critics are already calling Blue Blood one of the best sports documentaries in recent years, drawing comparisons to The Last Dance and QB1: Beyond the Lights.
Whether you’re a die-hard Wolverines fan or a casual observer of the college football world, Blue Blood promises a front-row seat to greatness—streaming now on Netflix.
