One of the biggest stars of the NFL is getting his own Netflix series, as Aaron Rodgers is the subject of the aptly titled sports docuseries, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, set to premiere in late 2024.

After a Hall of Fame-worthy career for the Green Bay Packers that included a Super Bowl and four MVP awards, Rodgers was set to make his debut as quarterback for the New York Jets in the 2023 NFL season that was ultimately cut short four plays into his first game when he suffered a torn Achilles that would sideline him for the year. However, Rodgers' story wasn’t done there, but instead was captured by the documentary team behind Simon Biles: Rising (Religion of Sports) in what is Netflix’s latest venture into the world of the NFL (following docuseries Quarterback and Receiver).

Here is everything you need to know about Aaron Rodgers: Enigma.

As of right now, the only individual that we definitely know will be featured in Aaron Rodgers: Enigma is Rodgers himself. Netflix has not released any information on who else will appear in the documentary.

That being said, it wouldn't be a surprise to see some of Rodgers' teammates (past and present) and family members appear in the documentary to give some insight into Rodgers' mentality as he recovered from his injury.
