Official Netflix Teaser “Untold: Swamp Kings” – Florida Gators [VIDEO]

After a blazing run in the 1990s under Coach Steve Spurrier, the University of Florida’s winning streak had dried up by 2005.

In their own words through extensive sit-down interviews paired with archival footage, Meyer and the titans he coached Brandon Siler, Tim Tebow, Brandon Spikes, Major Wright, Ahmad Black, and many others give viewers a bird’s-eye view of how they catapulted the Florida Gators from underdogs to winners of two BCS National Championships.

About UNTOLD: Swamp Kings:

College football is life in Florida, nowhere more apparent than in the extraordinary story of the Florida Gators from 2005 to 2010. After a blazing run in the 1990s under Coach Steve Spurrier, the University of Florida’s winning streak had dried up by 2005. Enter Urban Meyer, the Gators’ demanding new head coach whose take-no-prisoners style breeds not only a string of legendary victories, but also unrelenting drama that rippled well beyond the locker room. In their own words through extensive sit-down interviews paired with archival footage, Meyer and the titans he coached (Brandon Siler, Tim Tebow, Brandon Spikes, Major Wright, and Ahmad Black, among many others) give viewers a bird’s-eye view of how they catapulted the Florida Gators from underdogs to winners of two BCS National Championships. Drilling down with a riveting play-by-play of some of the Gators’ most blistering wins and losses, this four-episode docuseries zooms in on each turbulent year of Meyer’s reign and isn’t afraid to tackle the challenging sides of his leadership and the perils of his players being star athletes at such a young age.

Quote from Katharine English, Director

“The players’ stories are unfiltered, deeply personal and often full of humor. They describe what it’s like to hear the roar of the crowd, to feel the sweat dripping down their backs and to know they’re at the center of it all. The joy of beating a rival, the glory of winning a national title.

But as well as the adoration of Gator Nation and near celebrity status, the players also suffer adversity and heartbreak along the journey. What emerges is a human story. It is a story about more than football – it’s a story of brotherhood, relentless effort and young men putting it all on the line in pursuit of the American dream. I hope we have done justice to their experience and presented them not just as the sports heroes they are, but as role models who stand tall with the power and gift to inspire future generations.”

You think you know these stories, but you don’t.

The critically acclaimed docuseries UNTOLD returns with Volume 3, a four-week summer event that pulls back the curtain on epic tales from the wide (and wild) world of sports. From boxing to football to doping scandals, these new stories go well beyond the headlines and upend what we thought we knew. Premiering weekly, each character-driven story hinges on candid, intimate first-person accounts from those who lived it – to reveal the grit, resilience, heartbreak, triumph, and even humor beneath the sweat. Jake Paul gets up close and personal as he tries to transcend YouTube stardom to revolutionize the fight world. Johnny Manziel, the Texas A&M quarterback hailed as “Johnny Football,” burns bright until he flames out under pressure. Victor Conte and Balco spin a dark web that tangles up top athletes in a steroid controversy. And the story of the Florida Gators’ stunning rise and fall in college football from 2005 to 2010 – featuring Coach Urban Meyer and star players such as Tim Tebow, Brandon Siler, and Brandon Spikes – is finally told in the definitive document of what really happened.
