The acclaimed docuseries “WWE Unreal” is officially in the works for a second season, with filming already underway. A new report from Fightful Select has confirmed what many fans had been hoping for, revealing that WWE, Netflix, and NFL Films have started production on the next installment of the series, which is expected to be released in 2026.
The confirmation comes after a period of uncertainty, as Chris Weaver, the director of the first season, had recently stated in an interview with Fightful that he was unsure if a second season would be greenlit. However, it appears that the decision was made quickly, as Weaver was spotted filming at WWE SummerSlam just days after that interview.
According to the report, one of the subjects for the upcoming season will be the current World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins. Weaver was reportedly at SummerSlam specifically to film content around Rollins’ Money in the Bank cash-in, a pivotal moment in his career. The report notes that Weaver has been present at multiple WWE events to film for the show, and that the production process is far enough along that the team is already working on selecting music for the new season.
The first season of “WWE Unreal” was a critical and commercial success, earning praise for its production, unprecedented access, and storytelling. The series gave viewers an inside look at the behind-the-scenes workings of WWE, the careers of superstars like Cody Rhodes, Charlotte Flair, and Roman Reigns, as well as covering major events like WrestleMania.
The choice of Seth Rollins as a subject for the second season is a logical one, as he has been one of the top stars in WWE over the past decade. The new season of “WWE Unreal” will likely chronicle his journey to becoming the World Heavyweight Champion and his rivalries with the likes of Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
