► In the words of Chris Weaver, WWE director: Unreal
“WWE: Unreal opens on July 29 in Netflix. The first season has five episodes of between 45 and 60 minutes, and covers from the premiere in Netflix on January 6 to Wrestlemania in April. We hope to make many more seasons, depending on the reception of the public.”
“We knew that the wrestling world was historically very reserved. But WWE decided to open and allow us to film much more than I expected. This is not just a look behind the curtain, it is as if we completely removed it. We were able to enter places where cameras had never been before.”
“I think one of WWE's great objectives with this series was to attract new fans. They saw how other documentaries in Netflix have promoted leagues and athletes, and thought: 'Let's see if we can make more people see this and thus expand our fans base.' I hope that happens. “
“This project was inspired a little in Hard Knocks' success. The idea was to show the characters, build stories and get to key moments such as the Premium Live Events. But everything constantly changes in WWE, so we had to adapt the narrative in real time. “
«We are open to similar projects with UFC or any other sport or league. We always look for good stories to tell, inside and outside the American football. “
