We officially have a release date for Jerry Jones’ Netflix documentary.
You may have forgotten, but there is a Netflix documentary in the works about Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys.
Obviously material like this is par for the course in terms of who the Cowboys are and have been, that quality likely serving as a reason that Netflix wanted to profile the team and their famous owner. Still though, it has been almost six months since any word was spoken of the would-be series (the trailer for it dropped back in December), but that all changed Wednesday.
The series that Netflix is titling “America’s Team: The Gambler and his Cowboys” will officially premiere on August 19th. For what it’s worth, the Cowboys have preseason games on both the 16th and 22nd of that month so this will come right between those.
Jerry Jones has often been referred to as a gambler and the story of how he mortgaged everything he owned to initially buy the Cowboys has been told many times. It seems this is the angle that Netflix is leaning into.
Anyone who has paid attention in recent history though knows that this is not exactly who Jerry and the front office have been relative to roster construction in recent years. We will see whether or not Netflix will cover that specifically.
Who is ready for August 19th?
