June 26, 2025 – Miami, FL
Netflix has officially announced the premiere date for its highly anticipated documentary series chronicling the life and legacy of Dwyane Wade, the iconic former Miami Heat shooting guard. Titled “Flash: The Dwyane Wade Story,” the series is set to debut globally on August 15, 2025.
This emotional and in-depth series will offer fans an unprecedented look into the career of the three-time NBA champion, Olympic gold medalist, and 13-time All-Star, whose fierce competitiveness and leadership helped define an era of Miami Heat basketball.
Through exclusive interviews, rare behind-the-scenes footage, and commentary from teammates, rivals, and cultural figures, the documentary explores Wade’s rise from a challenging childhood in Chicago to becoming one of the most respected figures in basketball history. The series also delves into his personal struggles off the court — including injuries, family challenges, and his outspoken advocacy for social justice and LGBTQ+ rights.
Netflix’s executive producer for the series described the project as “a powerful and personal portrait of a man who transcended the sport, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire millions worldwide.”
Dwyane Wade himself expressed pride and vulnerability in bringing his story to the screen. “This isn’t just about basketball,” Wade said in a press statement. “It’s about resilience, growth, family, and using your platform to impact the world.”
With the NBA community already buzzing, “Flash: The Dwyane Wade Story” is expected to be a landmark sports documentary — not just for Heat Nation, but for anyone who has followed the modern evolution of basketball and its influence beyond the court.
