**New Era: It’s Time – Netflix Releases Highly Anticipated Documentary on Carolina Panthers, Set to Premiere on 25th**
Netflix has officially announced the release date for its highly anticipated sports documentary, *New Era: It’s Time*, chronicling the journey of the Carolina Panthers—a franchise defined by resilience, reinvention, and its deep connection with the people of the Carolinas. The multi-part series is set to premiere globally on **the 25th of July**, offering fans an unprecedented look behind the scenes of one of the NFL’s most intriguing teams.
*New Era: It’s Time* promises to be more than just a highlight reel of touchdowns and tackles. Instead, it presents a compelling narrative arc: from the Panthers’ early days as a 1995 expansion team, to their dramatic Super Bowl runs, through recent seasons filled with upheaval, hope, and a new vision for the future. The documentary will focus heavily on the team’s current rebuild under head coach Dave Canales, featuring intimate access to players, coaches, and front office personnel.
The title *New Era: It’s Time* reflects the documentary’s central theme—the dawn of a bold chapter in Panthers history, led by a new generation of talent including quarterback Bryce Young, pass rusher Brian Burns, and wide receiver Adam Thielen. As the team strives to return to playoff contention, the series captures the raw emotion, growing pains, and unwavering determination of those involved in the transformation.
Netflix released a teaser trailer earlier this week, which opens with sweeping shots of Bank of America Stadium at dawn, before cutting to a voiceover from Young: “We’re not here to be written off. We’re here to write history.” The teaser is already generating buzz on social media, with Panthers fans and NFL enthusiasts praising its cinematic tone and emotional depth.
Executive produced by the team behind *Quarterback* and *Formula 1: Drive to Survive*, the series blends game footage, locker room access, and off-field interviews to offer a 360-degree view of life in the NFL. It also sheds light on the unique culture and identity of the Carolinas, highlighting the fan base’s passion and the franchise’s deep community roots.
“I think viewers are going to see a different side of our organization,” said general manager Dan Morgan in an interview. “This team is full of heart, grit, and belief in the journey ahead. It’s not just about where we are now—it’s about where we’re going.”
In addition to focusing on the current season, the series pays tribute to past legends like Steve Smith Sr., Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis, and Cam Newton, whose stories shaped the franchise’s identity. Archival footage and interviews with former players provide rich context for understanding the Panthers’ present and future.
Fans can expect the series to span six hour-long episodes, each diving deep into different aspects of the team’s evolution—from draft day decisions to game-day struggles and the bonds formed in the face of adversity.
With *New Era: It’s Time*, Netflix delivers a gripping, emotional, and inspiring portrait of a team on the rise. For Panthers fans, it’s more than a documentary—it’s a reminder that their time is coming.
