BREAKING: NBA Legend Ja Morant Signs $13.5 Million Netflix Deal for 7-Episode Series on Memphis Grizzlies Journey
INBA superstar Ja Morant has officially signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix to produce a 7-episode docuseries chronicling his electrifying journey with the Memphis Grizzlies. The series, which is already in pre-production, promises to offer fans unprecedented access into Morant’s rise to stardom, his off-court challenges, and his impact on the city of Memphis.
Sources close to the project reveal that the series will blend raw, behind-the-scenes footage with exclusive interviews featuring teammates, coaches, family members, and even Morant himself. It aims to show not only the high-flying dunks and clutch plays that made Morant a household name, but also the emotional and mental battles he faced throughout his young NBA career. From his humble beginnings in South Carolina to becoming the face of the Grizzlies franchise, the docuseries is expected to shed light on the man behind the headlines.
The collaboration between Morant and Netflix comes at a time when sports documentaries are soaring in popularity.

Executives from the streaming giant have expressed their excitement about capturing the journey of a player who has faced extreme highs and sobering lows in such a short span.
Morant’s tenure with the Grizzlies has been nothing short of explosive. Since being drafted second overall in 2019, he’s brought new life to the Memphis franchise, earning multiple All-Star selections and leading the team to playoff contention. Yet his journey hasn’t been without controversy, including off-court incidents that made national headlines. According to insiders, Morant is ready to address those chapters in the series, using this platform to share his perspective and inspire growth in others.
“This isn’t just a basketball story,” Morant said in a brief statement released on Thursday. “It’s about falling, getting back up, and becoming something greater. I want people to see the real me — the good, the bad, and everything in between.” That message has already resonated with fans on social media, where the news of the series has sparked anticipation and support from around the globe.
The seven-episode series is slated to drop in early 2026, with each episode expected to be around 45 minutes long. Whether you’re a diehard Grizzlies fan or simply love a story of redemption and resilience, this upcoming series promises to be one of the most impactful sports documentaries in recent memory.
