In a thrilling development for cycling fans around the world, Netflix has officially announced the upcoming release of a new documentary chronicling the extraordinary life and career of Wout van Aert, one of Belgium’s most decorated and versatile athletes. Titled “UNBREAKABLE: The Wout van Aert Story”, the documentary is scheduled to premiere on July 25, 2025, offering a raw, emotional, and deeply personal look into the life of a man who has become a national icon.

 

 

“We are happy to announce that we are done with production and it will be released on July 25,” a Netflix spokesperson said in an official statement. “This is more than a sports documentary — it’s a tribute to the passion, resilience, and spirit that define Wout van Aert.”

 

A Tale of Grit, Glory, and Growth

Produced by the award-winning team behind “Drive to Survive” and “The Last Dance,” “UNBREAKABLE” promises to capture the essence of Wout van Aert — from his early days dominating cyclocross tracks in Belgium to conquering the grueling mountain stages of the Tour de France, and everything in between.

 

The documentary follows Wout’s humble beginnings in Herentals, his meteoric rise through the ranks of cycling, and the emotional highs and lows that have defined his journey. From his near-career-ending crash in 2019 to his stunning comeback and triumphs in the Classics and Grand Tours, the film paints an intimate portrait of a champion forged by hardship and driven by purpose.

 

“I’m honored to have my story told in such a meaningful way,” said Van Aert. “It’s not just about cycling. It’s about the people who shaped me, the challenges I’ve faced, and what it truly means to fight for every second on and off the bike.”

 

Exclusive Access and Never-Before-Seen Footage

“UNBREAKABLE” features exclusive interviews with Wout van Aert, his family, teammates like Jonas Vingegaard and Primož Roglič, longtime rival Mathieu van der Poel, and cycling legends including Eddy Merckx. Fans will also get unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to Team Visma | Lease a Bike, training camps, race-day preparations, and personal moments never captured by the media.

 

The series promises to tackle not only the technical and tactical aspects of elite cycling but also Van Aert’s psychological battles, his role as a teammate and leader, and how he balances fame, family, and the crushing expectations of a nation.

 

A Belgian Hero, A Global Inspiration

Wout van Aert’s influence transcends sport. With millions of fans across Europe and a growing base internationally, the documentary aims to position him as a global ambassador of grit, humility, and greatness. Whether it’s battling through cobblestone sprints or sharing quiet moments with his young family, the documentary showcases the many layers of Wout — the man, the myth, the machine.
