Netflix today announced a highly anticipated documentary, “DwagsHQ,” chronicling the legendary college football career of former Georgia Bulldogs running back and Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker, is set to premiere globally on Friday, August 15, 2025. This groundbreaking film promises an intimate and comprehensive look at the player who redefined the position and became a cultural icon.
“DwagsHQ” delves deep into Walker’s formative years, his meteoric rise at the University of Georgia, and the profound impact he had on both the sport and the Bulldog faithful. From his staggering freshman season in 1980, leading Georgia to a national championship, to his record-breaking collegiate career that culminated in the 1982 Heisman Trophy, the documentary will explore the physical prowess, mental fortitude, and unwavering dedication that made Walker a transcendent figure.
The film will feature never-before-seen archival footage, including rare game clips, behind-the-scenes glimpses of team practices, and personal home videos from Walker’s era. Viewers can expect candid interviews with key figures from his time, including former teammates, coaches Vince Dooley and Erk Russell, sports journalists who covered his every move, and even opponents who faced the monumental challenge of trying to tackle him. “DwagsHQ” aims to provide fresh perspectives on the pressure Walker faced, the expectations he carried, and the enduring legacy he built.
“We are incredibly excited to bring Herschel Walker’s story to our global audience,” said a Netflix spokesperson in a statement. “His impact on college football and his unique journey resonate far beyond the gridiron. ‘DwagsHQ’ will be a must-watch for sports fans, history buffs, and anyone inspired by stories of remarkable achievement.”

It will highlight the fervent passion of the Georgia fan base and the palpable excitement that surrounded every game Walker played.
This announcement comes as Netflix continues to expand its robust sports documentary slate, which has seen immense success with titles like “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” and “Quarterback.” “DwagsHQ” is expected to be a cornerstone of Netflix’s late summer sports offerings, leading into the excitement of the 2025 college football season.
