Netflix has revealed its newest sports docuseries, “Gig ‘Em: The Aggie Story,” chronicling the storied history and modern evolution of Texas A&M University’s football program. Slated for release this fall, the series promises to offer an unfiltered and emotional deep dive into the traditions, triumphs, controversies, and characters that have defined the Aggies over the decades.
Spanning decades of on-field drama and off-field legacy, the multi-part series will feature rare archival footage, exclusive interviews with former and current players, coaches, university officials, and even members of the 12th Man — the legendary fan base that’s become a symbol of unity and spirit. From Bear Bryant’s gritty years to the SEC transition, and from Johnny Manziel’s Heisman-winning season to recent coaching headlines, the documentary aims to capture both the glory and grit of Texas A&M football.
Netflix producers worked closely with Texas A&M’s athletic department to gain unprecedented access, including behind-the-scenes footage from the locker rooms, team meetings, and Kyle Field during game day. Emotional segments are also expected to highlight the deeply rooted military traditions of the Corps of Cadets and their connection to the football program, lending the documentary a uniquely Texan and patriotic undertone.
“Texas A&M has always been more than just a football school — it’s a culture, a community, and a brotherhood,” said executive producer Chris Olson. “We wanted to tell a story that not only captures the sweat and sacrifice on the field but also the loyalty, pride, and perseverance that echo across Aggieland.” The docuseries is part of Netflix’s broader push into collegiate sports storytelling, following the success of series like Untold and QB1: Beyond the Lights.
The announcement has already stirred anticipation among Aggie faithfuls, with alumni and fans taking to social media to express their excitement. Former players like Von Miller, Dat Nguyen, and Ryan Tannehill are expected to make appearances in the series, offering personal anecdotes and insight into the pressures and joys of wearing the maroon and white.
Set to premiere in September, just in time for the kickoff of the college football season, “Gig ‘Em: The Aggie Story” is poised to be more than just a tribute to a team — it’s a celebration of identity, spirit, and the enduring legacy of one of America’s most passionate college football programs. Whether you’re an Aggie, a rival, or simply a lover of great sports stories, this series is set to be one of the fall’s must-watch events.
