Global streaming giant Netflix has officially announced the release of a highly anticipated sports documentary titled โUnderdogโ, chronicling the extraordinary life and career of Euros Snooker legend Stephen Hendry. The documentary is slated for release later this year and is already being tipped as a must-watch for sports fans worldwide.
Despite being widely regarded as one of the most dominant players in snooker history, Underdog takes a deeper, more personal look at Hendryโs journey โ from a quiet prodigy in Scotland to a global icon who redefined excellence on the green baize. The film explores the pressure, sacrifice, setbacks, and relentless mindset that powered Hendry to an astonishing seven World Snooker Championship titles, a record that stood unchallenged for decades.
Netflix insiders describe the documentary as raw, emotional, and brutally honest, featuring never-before-seen archival footage, exclusive interviews with Hendry himself, and testimonies from rivals, teammates, commentators, and family members. The series does not just celebrate trophies, but also highlights the mental battles behind sustained dominance, the loneliness at the top, and the struggle of stepping away from the sport.
The title Underdog reflects Hendryโs early years โ a young, underestimated talent who shattered expectations and went on to change snooker forever with his fearless, attacking style. The documentary also touches on his life after retirement, his influence on modern snooker stars, and his lasting legacy within European and global cue sports.
Fans across Europe and beyond have already taken to social media to express excitement, with many calling it โlong overdueโ recognition for a true sporting great.
With Netflixโs growing reputation for elite sports storytelling, โUnderdogโ promises to be one of the most compelling snooker documentaries ever produced โ not just a story of victory, but of resilience, identity, and the cost of greatness.
