Netflix revealed more about the documentary in a press release:
"Mr. McMahon chronicles the rise and fall of Vince McMahon (pictured), the controversial businessman and co-founder of WWE. From his transformation of the WWE from a small, regional company into a global entertainment powerhouse to the explosive allegations of sexual misconduct that led to his eventual dismissal, this six-episode series offers a deep dive into McMahon's life and his enduring franchise.
Drawing from more than 200 hours of interviews with McMahon himself (prior to his firing), his family members, business partners and some of the most iconic names in wrestling history, as well as the journalists who exposed McMahon's accusations - present filmmaker Chris Smith ( Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness) and executive producer Bill Simmons (30 for 30) deliver an uncompromising, unapologetic look at one of the most enigmatic figures in sports entertainment.
Director and executive producer Chris Smith said, “The goal behind Mr. McMahon was to pull back the curtain and reveal the true Vince McMahon, obscured beneath the persona he presented to the world. Over the four years of production, the story evolved in truly shocking ways, culminating in some extremely harrowing allegations. The final product is a revealing documentary that we believe offers a rich and nuanced portrait of the man and the complex legacy he left behind.”
The series will be released on Wednesday, September 25.
