Baseball fans, mark your calendars! Netflix has officially announced the release date for its highly anticipated sports documentary chronicling the rich history, legacy, and legendary success of the Louisiana State University (LSU) Tigers baseball program. Set to premiere on August 15, 2025, the documentary promises an in-depth, emotional, and visually stunning look at one of college baseball’s most dominant dynasties.

Titled “Geaux’d: The LSU Tigers Baseball Legacy”, the multi-part docuseries will span more than a century of LSU baseball tradition — from its humble beginnings to its emergence as a powerhouse in NCAA Division I baseball. With behind-the-scenes access, rare archival footage, and candid interviews with coaches, players, alumni, and fans, the series is shaping up to be a must-watch for sports lovers, Louisiana faithful, and documentary enthusiasts alike.

The LSU Tigers baseball team isn’t just a story of wins and championships — it’s a tale of grit, resilience, community pride, and relentless pursuit of greatness. The Netflix docuseries will explore the pivotal moments that transformed the program into a national brand. From Skip Bertman’s culture-shifting tenure in the 1980s and ’90s — which produced five national championships in 10 years — to Paul Mainieri’s leadership and Jay Johnson’s resurgence of the Tigers in the 2020s, every era will be explored with unflinching detail.

Sources close to the production revealed that the docuseries will feature never-before-seen locker room footage, intimate moments between players and families, and deep dives into the biggest games — including the 2023 national championship win, where LSU defeated Florida in a record-setting College World Series finale.

“Geaux’d” is expected to spotlight LSU baseball legends such as:

  • Ben McDonald, the former No. 1 overall MLB Draft pick
  • Todd Walker, one of the most prolific hitters in NCAA history
  • Aaron Nola, ace pitcher and MLB All-Star
  • Dylan Crews, the 2023 Golden Spikes Award winner
  • Paul Skenes, the flame-throwing righty who set Omaha ablaze in 2023

Additionally, the documentary will profile the passionate fanbase known as the “Tiger Nation”, whose devotion to the purple and gold has transformed Baton Rouge into one of the most electric college baseball environments in the country. Expect drone shots of Alex Box Stadium rocking on a Friday night, tailgates stretching for miles, and testimonials from fans whose lives are interwoven with the fate of their beloved team.

Netflix confirmed that interviews will include exclusive sit-downs with:

  • Skip Bertman, widely considered the godfather of LSU baseball
  • Jay Johnson, the current head coach credited with reinvigorating the program
  • Paul Mainieri, who led LSU to the 2009 national title
  • Numerous MLB stars, from both the Tigers and their collegiate rivals

The series will also delve into the high-pressure world of SEC baseball recruiting, the psychological toll of postseason play, and the Tigers’ fierce rivalries — particularly with Arkansas, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State. Several episodes will focus on the College World Series experience, highlighting LSU’s unmatched seven national titles, the most of any SEC school and tied for second all-time.

LSU baseball is not just about titles and trophies — it’s a cultural institution in Louisiana. The series will document how LSU’s baseball success has influenced local communities, inspired young athletes, and shaped the identity of an entire region.

One episode, reportedly titled “Bayou Brotherhood”, will spotlight how players from across the country are drawn to Baton Rouge, forming lifelong bonds on and off the field. Another episode, “Legacy and Loyalty”, is said to cover the generations of families — fathers, sons, and grandsons — who have all worn the Tigers jersey, reinforcing the program’s multi-generational impact.

Netflix partnered with SMAC Entertainment and Uninterrupted Studios, the latter co-founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter, to produce the series. With the success of Netflix’s “Last Chance U” and ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” this new project is being positioned as college baseball’s definitive documentary series.

Director Elena Ramirez, whose previous work includes Emmy-nominated sports features, said in a statement:

“LSU baseball is more than a program. It’s a family, a fortress, a dream factory. We wanted to tell the story not just of baseball but of legacy, passion, and the relentless pursuit of glory. Every swing, every pitch, every heartbreak — it’s all here.”

“Geaux’d: The LSU Tigers Baseball Legacy” will reportedly run for eight episodes, each approximately 50–60 minutes long. Topics confirmed to be covered include:

  • The rise of Skip Bertman and the ‘90s dynasty
  • Iconic walk-off wins and unforgettable College World Series showdowns
  • The rebuilding years and resilience under Paul Mainieri
  • The impact of NIL and the transfer portal on modern recruiting
  • The 2023 national title run and emergence of new LSU legends
  • LSU’s connection with Louisiana culture, music, and Mardi Gras traditions

Baseball insiders are already buzzing about the series. MLB Network analyst Harold Reynolds tweeted:

“Finally. A deep dive into a program that’s shaped the college baseball landscape. LSU deserves this spotlight — can’t wait.”

Former LSU star Alex Bregman also shared his enthusiasm on social media:

“Pumped to see the brotherhood and grind behind LSU baseball hit the big screen. This one’s for the fans and every kid who dreamed of Omaha.”

With August 15 fast approaching, the LSU baseball faithful — and the broader sports world — are preparing for a landmark moment in sports storytelling. From epic comebacks to devastating defeats, from walk-ons to MLB All-Stars, the documentary will deliver a gripping and emotional ride through Tiger history.

For Netflix, this marks yet another major push into sports content, following the success of “Quarterback,” “Formula 1: Drive to Survive,” and “Untold.” For LSU, it’s a celebration of everything the program stands for — tradition, dominance, and undeniable swagger.

So whether you’re a die-hard SEC baseball junkie or a casual viewer looking for an inspiring story, clear your schedule, grab your purple and gold, and get ready to experience the roar of Alex Box Stadium from your living room.

“Geaux’d: The LSU Tigers Baseball Legacy” premieres August 15, only on Netflix.
