The wait is finally over for rugby league fans as Netflix has officially announced the release date for the highly anticipated Warrington Wolves documentary. Titled “The Pack: Inside Warrington Wolves”, the behind-the-scenes feature will hit screens on September 13, offering an exclusive, in-depth look at one of the most storied clubs in Super League history.
The announcement has sent a wave of excitement through the rugby community, with Wolves supporters and general sports enthusiasts alike eagerly counting down the days. For a club steeped in history, passionate support, and near-misses at championship glory, this documentary promises to deliver raw, unfiltered access like never before.
The documentary spans across a full season, capturing not only on-field battles but also the emotional heartbeat of the club. From pre-season training and mid-season slumps to locker-room speeches and fan interactions, Netflix’s cameras were granted full access to Warrington’s inner workings.
“We wanted to tell a story that goes beyond wins and losses,” said the series director, Charlotte Mills, in a statement. “This is about a club that carries the weight of expectation, the loyalty of a community, and the hunger for silverware.”
The series is expected to showcase several prominent personalities within the club, including head coach Sam Burgess, marquee signings like George Williams, and long-serving stalwarts whose passion for the wire runs deep.
One of the standout features of “The Pack” is its commitment to authentic storytelling. Players will be seen in candid moments—handling defeat, celebrating victories, and confronting the pressures of elite performance. The producers promise no moment has been sugar-coated.
In a brief teaser released alongside the announcement, club captain Stefan Ratchford is heard saying, “People think they know what it’s like to play for Warrington, but until you’ve lived it—every training, every tackle—you really don’t.”
The show also shines a spotlight on the club’s fans, who have stood by through thick and thin, creating one of the most passionate followings in the sport. Interviews with lifelong supporters and local voices provide a grounding in the emotional bond between the team and the town.
Netflix’s decision to profile a Super League club is being hailed as a major step for rugby league, with the potential to bring the sport to a global audience. Following the success of similar sports docuseries like Drive to Survive and Full Swing, The Pack is seen as rugby league’s opportunity to connect with a broader demographic and showcase its physical intensity and tight-knit culture.
Former player and rugby analyst Brian Carney said during a recent broadcast, “This documentary could be game-changing for the sport. Warrington has all the elements of a great story—talent, struggle, passion, and ambition.”
Social media has exploded with excitement since the release date announcement. The hashtag #ThePackNetflix began trending within hours, with fans praising Netflix for choosing to tell the story of a team that has long been the heart of its town.
One Wolves supporter posted on X (formerly Twitter): “Been waiting years to see my club get this kind of spotlight. Let’s show the world what the Wire is all about!”
Another wrote: “Can already tell this is going to be emotional. Been through it all with this club—this is OUR story.”
With its release set for September 13, The Pack: Inside Warrington Wolves is shaping up to be one of the most compelling sports documentaries of the year. For loyal fans and curious newcomers alike, the series offers a chance to witness the raw emotion, fierce loyalty, and unbreakable spirit that define the Wolves.
This is more than just rugby league. This is Warrington.
