Netflix's Untold series has been telling the true stories behind memorable sporting moments since 2021. The first volume covered everything from the Malice at the Palace to Caitlyn Jenner to The Danbury Thrashers. Meanwhile, Volume Two included episodes about Manti Te'o, Tim Donaghy, and the 1983 America's Cup. The documentaries, which seek to tell the real stories behind the events featured, have been well-received. The show holds a 95% aggregated rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Each episode is released as a standalone event.
Volume Three of Untold is set to premiere this August, starting on August 1. The four-episode collection is diving deeper into controversy than ever before. There are episodes about the Urban Meyer-Tim Tebow era of the Florida Gators, Johnny Manziel, and Victor Conte. However, headlining the series is an episode about an oft-talked-about, much-maligned social media star turned boxer.
Jake Paul Episode Opens Untold Volume Three
Untold Volume Three will begin with "Jake Paul: The Problem Child" on August 1. Promoting the episode on social media, Paul said "My life has been on display since I was 16 but my story has never been told. #UntoldNetflix August 1st. @netflix." Based on that description, it appears that Paul's episode will go from his rise on platforms such as Vine and YouTube to his foray into the world of professional boxing. Furthermore, the episode will likely touch, however briefly, on his fall from grace on the Disney Channel. Elsewhere, it was recently announced that Paul will also make his feature film debut in a combat sports film.
The episode's release has also been deliberately timed. Four days after the episode premieres, Paul will fight Nate Diaz in a highly-publicized boxing match. Paul is hoping to bounce back from this loss to Tommy Fury in February. While he will be making his boxing debut, Diaz is a seasoned MMA fighter who has absolutely no love for Paul. Furthermore, Paul is hoping that a win over Diaz will give him the leverage to take on Conor McGregor. Will you be watching Jake Paul's Untold episode? Let us know in the comments.
