LOS ANGELES, CA – In a move that’s already generating buzz across both the streaming and sports worlds, Netflix has officially announced a brand-new original documentary: “Southern Miss Baseball” — a riveting, behind-the-scenes chronicle of the University of Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles’ historic championship season. Scheduled for release this summer, the documentary will give viewers an all-access look at one of the most unforgettable runs in college baseball history.
🎬 A Story of Heart, Hustle, and Hattiesburg
This upcoming release will mark Netflix’s first full-length feature focusing on college baseball — and it couldn’t have chosen a more compelling team. Southern Miss, long a respected name in the NCAA baseball world, defied expectations and national rankings to storm through the postseason and claim a national title that seemed like a fantasy just months before.
The documentary, helmed by award-winning director Morgan Langston, promises to bring fans inside the dugout, the clubhouse, and the hearts of the players and coaches. With exclusive interviews, emotional moments, and dramatic game footage, “Southern Miss Baseball” aims to capture not just what the team accomplished, but how they did it — with grit, resilience, and unwavering belief.
“This isn’t just a baseball story. It’s a human story — about belief, brotherhood, and the power of playing for something bigger than yourself,” Langston said in a statement.
🏆 From Dark Horse to Diamond Kings
Despite being underdogs at the beginning of the season, the Golden Eagles — led by head coach Christian Ostrander — made an unforgettable run through regional and super regional play. Their hard-earned victories over powerhouse programs catapulted them into the College World Series, where they etched their name into college baseball immortality.
Some key players featured in the documentary include:
