BREAKING NEWS — Ole Miss legend Eli Manning has signed a blockbuster $14.5 million deal with Netflix to headline a new 7-episode limited series, set to premiere in early 2026.
The project promises far more than a traditional sports documentary. Manning’s journey at Ole Miss will be revisited through never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews, and dramatic reenactments that highlight the defining moments of his college career in Oxford.
A Tribute to Loyalty and Legacy
During his time with the Rebels, Manning became a symbol of loyalty and determination, famously sticking with Ole Miss despite outside pressures. The Netflix series will explore his rise as a leader, his explosive playmaking, and his decision to stay true to the program that retired his iconic No. 10 jersey.
“This series is a thank you to Ole Miss and the fans who believed in me from the beginning,” Manning said in a statement. Netflix executives described the project as “a heartfelt tribute to a warrior spirit.”
What Fans Can Expect
The 7-episode series will blend emotional storytelling with the intensity of college football, showcasing:
-
Game-winning drives that cemented Manning’s reputation.
-
Behind-the-scenes reflections from teammates, coaches, and family.
-
Exclusive personal moments that reveal Eli beyond the gridiron.
It aims to capture not just the quarterback who would go on to become a two-time Super Bowl champion, but the college athlete who carried the hopes of Rebel Nation.
A Celebration for Rebel Nation
For Ole Miss fans, the Netflix series represents more than nostalgia. It’s a celebration of tradition, pride, and the Manning legacy. The roar of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, the pressure of SEC Saturdays, and the enduring spirit of No. 10 will all take center stage.
With the world watching, Eli Manning is coming home — and this time, his story will be told to a global audience.
