Netflix Announces Documentary Celebrating Chicago Bears’ Legendary 1985 Super Bowl Team – Here’s What to Expect
CHICAGO – In a historic tribute to one of the most dominant teams in NFL history, Netflix has announced a special documentary series celebrating the 40-year anniversary of the Chicago Bears’ 1985 Super Bowl championship season. The highly anticipated series will provide fans with an in-depth look at the team’s journey to greatness, featuring never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews, and a deep dive into the legacy that still resonates in the NFL today.
The documentary will highlight key moments from the Bears’ incredible season, including their dominant defense led by Hall of Famers Mike Singletary, Richard Dent, and Dan Hampton, as well as the leadership of head coach Mike Ditka and quarterback Jim McMahon. Fans can also expect a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the legendary “Super Bowl Shuffle” and how the team’s swagger and personality changed the NFL forever.
Adding an unexpected twist, Netflix will also explore the story of “Squid,” a lesser-known but influential figure behind the team’s success. While details on this segment remain scarce, speculation suggests that it could shed light on an unsung hero or a unique aspect of the Bears’ culture during that historic season.
With the resurgence of sports documentaries gaining popularity—thanks to hits like The Last Dance—Netflix’s deep dive into the Bears’ 1985 season is expected to draw massive viewership, especially among Chicago fans and football enthusiasts eager to relive one of the greatest teams in NFL history.
The documentary is set to premiere in early 2026, just in time for the official 40-year anniversary of the Bears’ unforgettable Super Bowl XX victory.
