Netflix fans are getting goosebumps over a must-watch documentary that has become the number one film on the platform. The new release, part of the Untold series, has already shot to the top of the charts.
Untold UK: Jamie Vardy Tops Netflix Charts
Released on May 12, 'Untold UK: Jamie Vardy' has quickly become the most-watched title on Netflix, surpassing action thriller 'Apex', which held the top spot for three weeks. It also outperforms other new titles like the animation movie 'Swapped' and the feelgood adaptation 'Remarkably Bright Creatures' starring Sally Field and Lewis Pullman.
The documentary is part of the Untold series, which has covered diverse topics from sports stars to true crime since its debut in 2021, including Caitlyn Jenner, Jake Paul, the Liver King, and the chess cheating scandal.
Jamie Vardy's Incredible Journey
The film chronicles the rise of Jamie Vardy, a record breaker and mischief-maker who went from non-league unknown to Premier League legend. According to its synopsis, Vardy's journey from factory shifts and part-time football to firing 5,000-1 outsiders Leicester City to the Premier League title feels like a footballing miracle.
With unseen archive, raw dressing-room tales, and interviews with Vardy, his wife Rebekah, teammates, managers, and old friends, the documentary shows how a lad from Sheffield smashed records and made a mockery of what's supposed to be possible in the modern game.
Fan Reactions
Viewers have praised the film. One person shared online: 'Untold UK: Jamie Vardy is a must-watch on Netflix. An inspiring and insightful story about a Premier League great.'
