Mourinho hits Netflix August 11 — three-part Special One doc from the Beckham producers
The Special One gets the Beckham treatment. Mourinho — a three-part Netflix documentary from Oscar-winning producer John Battsek’s lane — premieres globally August 11, 2026. Filmed across two years, it anchors on the 20th anniversary of Porto’s 2004 Champions League shock, then walks Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid, United, Tottenham, Roma, and Fenerbahçe without sanding off the press-conference knives.
Who talks
Talking heads include Sir Alex Ferguson, Zlatan Ibrahimović, John Terry, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Petr Čech, Iker Casillas, Marcelo, Samuel Eto’o, Javier Zanetti, and Luís Figo. Director Joe Pearlman (Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now) shapes the access; Ventureland produces. Expect Guardiola rivalry chapters and exit autopsies — not a club-approved hagiography.
August sports doc lane
Netflix’s August Tudum slate already flagged Mourinho beside Big Chicken and football-adjacent fare. Three episodes means a weekend binge, not a season commitment. If you bounced off glossy athlete docs, this one sells chaos management as the genre.
“Netflix aim to reveal the man behind the Special One.”
