DEFINITIVE KEVIN DURANT DOC SERIES UNDERWAY FOR NETFLIX FROM OBB PICTURES AND BOARDROOM
LOS ANGELES - OCTOBER 23, 2025 - Netflix announced today that they have teamed up with OBB Pictures, the film & TV division of OBB Media, and Boardroom on the definitive documentary series chronicling Kevin Durant's storied career.
Filming for the expansive series began before the 2023-2024 season and ahead of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics where Durant became the most decorated men's basketball player in Olympic history. Production will continue shooting into the current season and for years beyond as he approaches the final chapters of his career. Now in his 18th NBA season, Durant has won two NBA Championships, 15 All-Star selections, an NBA MVP, two Finals MVPs, four Olympic gold medals, is the all-time USA Olympic scoring leader, and is the highest NBA career earner of all time.
Directed by Emmy Award winners Michael D. Ratner (Kids Are Growing Up; Justin Bieber: Our World; Dancing with the Devil) and Robert Alexander (A Man Named Scott, SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night, Shaq), the project chronicles Kevin Durant's rise as one of basketball's greatest and most polarizing players and explores his impact on the game and the legacy he's building. Durant sits down for his most revealing and unfiltered interviews to date. The series also features appearances from his mother, father, and brother, along with coaches and teammates from every stage of his journey, from his early upbringing to college, the NBA, and Team USA. OBB Cares and the Durant Family Foundation will provide College Track scholars from the Durant Center with the opportunity to serve as production assistants on the project. OBB Cares partner ManifestWorks, an organization that trains individuals impacted by foster care, homelessness, and incarceration for careers in the entertainment industry, will provide training for the scholars.
"It's incredibly exciting to partner with one of the greatest to ever practice their craft. Kevin is undeniably one of the best to ever play basketball, but he's also a fascinating individual with an untold story that will inspire and excite everyone who watches," said OBB Founder & CEO Michael D. Ratner. "After meeting with Kevin and Rich it became clear that they would be perfect partners alongside Netflix and we're thrilled to have them as a part of the OBB family."
Executive producers include OBB Pictures' Michael D. Ratner, Scott Ratner, Kfir Goldberg, and Camille Maratchi; Robert Alexander and Boardroom's Rich Kleiman and Sarah Flynn.
