Netflix releases trailer for ‘WWE: Unreal’ season two
Netflix has released a new trailer hyping the impending arrival of “WWE: Unreal” season two.
The behind-the-scenes docuseries is set to return on Tuesday, January 20 with a five-episode second season. Material for the show was largely filmed during summer 2025, with the trailer revealing some of the key topics that will be covered. Seth Rollins’ worked knee injury and trying to keep that a secret will be heavily focused on, along with R-Truth’s near-departure from WWE and subsequent return to the company.
At the beginning of the trailer, Paul Heyman addresses the concept of WWE pulling back the curtain for this docuseries and giving the fans an inside look at an industry that historically has been secretive.
“Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I’m not a fan of this show,” Heyman says. “I grew up in an era where you defended the secrecy of this business. That’s how we earn our living.”
Each episode in the season is listed as being 50 minutes long. Backlash, Evolution, and SummerSlam 2025 are three of the events that the “Unreal” cameras were present for. Pat McAfee’s match against Gunther from Backlash will receive some focus, and the show will document musician Jelly Roll making his in-ring debut at SummerSlam. A brief clip from the trailer indicates that Naomi will address why she and Mercedes Mone walked out of WWE in 2022.
Season one of “WWE: Unreal” debuted in July 2025 and consisted of five episodes as well. The series is produced by WWE, Omaha Productions, NFL Films, and Skydance Sports.
