Kevin Durant will have his own documentary on Netflix!

The Kevin Durant documentary on Netflix is officially underway, offering fans an intimate look at one of basketball’s most fascinating careers. With the start of the 2025–26 NBA season, Netflix teams up with OBB Pictures and Boardroom to provide the definitive portrait of the Houston Rockets star—a player whose impact on and off the court continues to shape the game.

The as-yet-untitled series will delve into Durant’s rise from his early days in Washington D. C. and Maryland, through his stellar season at the University of Texas, to becoming one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history. The project also highlights his time with the U.S. national team at the Olympics, where he became the most decorated player in American men's basketball.

Filming began before the 2023–24 NBA season, prior to Durant's historic participation in the 2024 Paris Olympics, featured in the Netflix documentary Court of Gold. Production will continue throughout the current season—Durant's first in Houston—as the veteran forward approaches the twilight of his career en route to the Hall of Fame.

The series is directed by Emmy Award winners Michael D. Ratner (Justin Bieber: Our World; Dancing With the Devil) and Robert Alexander (A Man Named Scott; SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night), filmmakers known for creating intimate, humanity-focused portraits of global icons.

“It’s incredibly exciting to collaborate with one of the greatest in his field,” Ratner stated. “Kevin is undoubtedly one of the best to have ever played basketball, but he's also a fascinating individual with an untold story that will inspire and excite those who watch it.”

Alongside Ratner, executive producers include Scott Ratner, Kfir Goldberg, Camille Maratchi, Robert Alexander, Rich Kleiman, and Sarah Flynn. Kleiman, Durant's longstanding representative and co-founder of Boardroom, brings an insider's perspective that ensures authenticity throughout the project.

A Career Worthy of Focus

Durant's story is tailor-made for a documentary. In his 18th NBA season, he has clinched two championships, two NBA Finals MVP awards, and a regular season MVP. He’s been a 15-time All-Star, won four Olympic golds, and is the all-time leading scorer in U.S. men's basketball at the Olympics.

Earlier this month, Durant made headlines again by signing a two-year, $90 million contract extension with Houston, officially becoming the highest-earning player in NBA history with over $598 million in career earnings. It's another chapter in a career defined by talent and resilience: from his early years in Seattle with the SuperSonics, through his peak in Oklahoma City, the glory days in Golden State, to his current leadership role in Houston.

The Netflix series promises unprecedented access, featuring candid interviews with Durant's family, coaches, and teammates throughout his career. It will include insights from key figures who witnessed his transformation from a quiet young prodigy to one of the most respected voices in modern basketball.

The documentary will also tie into Netflix's expanding catalog of basketball productions. Durant's story is featured in the second season of Starting 5, which followed the 2024–25 campaign alongside stars like Jaylen Brown, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrese Haliburton, and James Harden.

In Starting 5, Durant achieved another milestone: surpassing 30,000 points in his career, becoming just the eighth player in league history to do so. Now, with production underway, cameras will capture the evolution of a veteran who continues to script chapters of his legacy in real time.
