‘Untold’ Season 7: The Testimony of Vince Young Release Date, Time, Where to Watch & Preview

Share:

Netflix is preparing to roll out the next chapter of its long running sports documentary franchise, and this time the focus falls on former Texas Longhorns quarterback Vince Young. Campfire Studios, led by Houston native Ross Dinerstein, convinced Young to sit down for extended conversations that turned into the latest installment in the ‘Untold’ series. The film gives Young a chance to tell his own story after years of headlines written by people other than himself.

The new run of ‘Untold’ returns to explore three larger than life personalities that extend well beyond the sports world, starting with Young before moving to viral Olympic breakdancer Raygun and cultural icon Mr. T. With the release only days away, viewers are looking for clarity on the date, the time, where to stream it and what the documentary actually covers.

‘Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young’ Release Date

‘Untold The Testimony of Vince Young’ will premiere on Netflix on Tuesday, August 25. Its arrival kicks off a run of three new standalone ‘Untold’ installments arriving over consecutive weeks. That structure means each film stands alone rather than functioning as connected episodes of a single season.

‘Untold Raygun Breaking Badly’ and ‘Untold Mr. T I Pity The Fool’ are next up on the schedule, set to release the following two weeks. The Vince Young film comes three years after Netflix’s ‘Untold’ look at Johnny Manziel, and it is directed by John Henion. Fans following the franchise closely will recognize the pattern of the streamer clustering related sports subjects into a single rollout window.

Ross M. Dinerstein and Andrew Lloyd Bank produce the film, which comes from Campfire Studios. The project fits within a franchise built by brothers Chapman Way and Maclain Way, who have overseen the ‘Untold’ banner since its earliest installments. Their involvement has helped the series maintain a consistent tone across a wide range of athletes and eras.

‘Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young’ Release Time

Netflix has not published an official rollout time for the documentary, but industry pattern offers a reliable guide. Like most other Netflix movies and shows, the film will likely hit the streaming service at 3 a.m. ET, which lines up with 12 a.m. PT. That timing has become standard for the platform’s global content drops, allowing subscribers in different time zones to access new titles at roughly the same overnight window.

Based on other entries from earlier in this volume of ‘Untold’, the film should carry a runtime somewhere between 70 and 85 minutes. Reports have since confirmed the documentary runs 78 minutes, placing it comfortably within that expected range. That length keeps the film in feature documentary territory rather than a sprawling multi part series.

Where to Watch ‘Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young’

The documentary will stream exclusively on Netflix, consistent with every other release in the ‘Untold’ catalog. Subscribers with an active plan will be able to access the film directly through the service once it goes live, with no separate purchase or rental required. There is no indication of a theatrical run or a release on any competing platform.

Netflix describes the film as following Young from his rise as a college football phenom through his tumultuous time in the NFL, where he unpacks his fall from stardom. That framing suggests the documentary leans into Young’s own perspective rather than relying primarily on outside commentary. Viewers wanting the fullest version of his account will need a Netflix subscription to see it.

‘Untold: the Testimony of Vince Young’ Preview

The official synopsis notes that after delivering one of the greatest performances in Rose Bowl history, Young was the NFL’s next big thing, and for a while, he was, but a career riddled by injuries, conflict and sudden loss tells a far more complicated story than the highlight reels ever showed. The film focuses heavily on the 2005 season, when Young helped lead the Longhorns to a national championship win over USC. That single game remains the moment most casually associated with his name even among fans who never followed his professional career closely.

During that Rose Bowl matchup, Young scored three rushing touchdowns and ran for 200 yards in a 41-38 win over USC, a performance that instantly turned him into a household name. Former USC quarterback Matt Leinart, who played in that game, called Young “a freaking animal” in the documentary. John Henion, who directed the project, said he remembered that legendary game against USC but admitted he had not closely followed Young’s NFL career beyond the headlines before taking on the film.

The documentary also covers Young landing with the Tennessee Titans as the third overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, his relationship with the late Steve McNair, and his friction with former Titans coach Jeff Fisher. It does not stop at football, also touching on his struggles behind the scenes, including a bankruptcy filing and multiple arrests for driving while intoxicated. Young’s wife, Candice, wrote on Instagram that the film is about the journey, the highs and lows, and the resilience it takes to keep moving forward.

Young has since returned to a regular presence around his former program and now hosts a podcast with his former head coach. The franchise’s earlier entry, ‘Untold The Fall of Favre’, ranked ninth on Netflix in the United States during its release week, and critics have occasionally noted the series’ tendency to favor access over harder edged analysis. Whether this installment strikes a different balance will likely become clear once viewers and critics weigh in after the premiere.

Longhorns fans who remember exactly where they were during that Rose Bowl, and Titans fans who watched his NFL career unravel, will probably have plenty to say once Vince Young tells the story in his own words.
