‘Tyson’ Trailer: Mike Tyson Chronicles His Journey From Dropout to Heavyweight Champion in Netflix Docuseries

A trailer has been released for “Tyson,” a four-part Netflix docuseries set to explore the life of the “feared and fascinating” heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson. The series will premiere on the platform on Oct. 13.

“Tyson” will chronicle the sports legend’s life, “from his chaotic upbringing in Brooklyn to global superstardom,” per the official synopsis. “It traces his meteoric rise as the youngest heavyweight champion ever. But beyond the glory lies a turbulent story of fame, influence, and controversy that nearly destroyed him. With raw honesty, Tyson confronts the choices, pressures, and personal cost behind his legacy. Unfiltered and deeply personal, ‘Tyson’ is a powerful portrait of greatness, fall, and redemption.”

Also announced alongside the docuseries is a first-look at Tyson’s one-man show, “Mike Tyson: Return of the Mike,” set to debut on the platform on Nov. 3. It’s described by Netflix as a raw, unfiltered special in which he “trades menace for mischief, revealing himself as a natural comedian with sharp timing and a gift for turning his own chaos into punchlines.”

“It’s Tyson like you’ve never seen him: unguarded, unpredictable, and genuinely hilarious — proof that the baddest man on the planet might also be one of the funniest,” reads the official logline.

“Mike Tyson: Return of the Mike” was directed by Kiki Tyson and filmed at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. Both Mike and Kiki executive produced alongside Marc Lieberman.

The docuseries is directed by Floyd Russ and produced by Jenna Millman, Jacob Miller and Alexa Ginsburg.
