## Synopsis

Tyson (2026) is a four-episode American documentary miniseries for Netflix that traces the explosive life of boxing heavyweight Mike Tyson, who appears as himself and narrates his own story across its roughly sixty-six minute installments. Rather than a conventional talking-head survey, the series rests on Tyson's direct testimony, letting the former champion reflect on the ferocity that made him one of the most feared fighters in sports history and the fame, pressure, and personal turmoil that followed him out of the ring. Each episode moves through a stretch of his career and private life, so the engine is a single arc of ambition, dominance, and self-reckoning rather than a case-of-the-week format. Viewers get a limited series shape with a clear beginning and end, anchored by the rhythm of a sports biography. The tone is candid, reflective, and often unsettling, with archival boxing footage and a sense of a man confronting his own legend. Fans of The Last Dance and Athlete A will find resonance in its blend of athletic spectacle and intimate personal history, and viewers drawn to American sports documentaries will recognize its scale. The series is rated TV-MA for strong language and frank depictions of hard living, making it best suited to adult audiences seeking a candid portrait of a boxing icon.
