Future of WWE Unreal Uncertain Despite Strong Debut and Internal Support

WWE and Netflix struck gold earlier this week with the premiere of WWE Unreal, a behind-the-scenes docuseries that has already won praise from fans and critics alike. But even with a successful debut, the future of the show is far from guaranteed.

Director Chris Weaver, who helmed the series alongside NFL Films, spoke with Fightful’s Joel Pearl and Jeremy Lambert about what comes next. While he didn’t confirm anything concrete, Weaver indicated that both he and NFL Films would like to continue the project, noting it’s something they’ve enjoyed working on.

Despite that interest, no official word has been given regarding a second season, leaving fans—and even those involved—waiting for an update.

Internally, WWE is said to be very happy with the traction WWE Unreal has gained since its release. Officials are reportedly pleased with the attention the series has generated, and they view the reaction as exactly what they were hoping for when teaming with Netflix.

Still, the decision on a renewal will likely come down to Netflix and how well the show performs in terms of viewership and engagement over the coming weeks.

For now, there’s optimism but no official greenlight. Fans who are hoping for more behind-the-scenes access into the WWE machine will have to stay tuned.
