Netflix Announces a Documentary on the Acting Career of Jason Momoa, Set to Premiere in Fall 2026
Netflix has officially announced a new original documentary chronicling the extraordinary acting career of Jason Momoa, set to premiere in Fall 2026. Titled Momoa: Uncharted Depths, the documentary will take fans behind the scenes of the Aquaman star’s journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of Hollywood’s most recognizable faces. With exclusive interviews, never-before-seen footage, and personal commentary from Momoa himself, the film promises to offer an intimate portrait of the actor’s evolution both on and off screen.
Jason Momoa’s rise to stardom has been anything but ordinary. Starting with small television roles in shows like Baywatch: Hawaii and North Shore, Momoa gradually gained recognition for his fierce presence and unique charisma. However, it was his portrayal of Khal Drogo in HBO’s Game of Thrones that catapulted him into global fame. The upcoming documentary will explore these early chapters of his career, including behind-the-scenes moments from Game of Thrones that helped shape his future roles.
The documentary will also spotlight Momoa’s groundbreaking work as Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe, where he redefined the superhero archetype with his raw energy and oceanic gravitas. From Justice League to the Aquaman standalone films, viewers will get an insider’s look at the creative process, stunt work, and character development that brought the King of Atlantis to life. The documentary features commentary from directors like Zack Snyder and James Wan, offering deeper insights into Momoa’s impact on the superhero genre.
Beyond his blockbuster hits, Momoa: Uncharted Depths will highlight the actor’s commitment to independent cinema and environmental activism. With roles in lesser-known projects like Road to Paloma, which he also directed, and his work with various conservation causes, the film will present a well-rounded picture of Momoa as not just a Hollywood icon, but as a passionate storyteller and advocate.
The documentary is being produced by Boardwalk Pictures, known for its acclaimed work on Chef’s Table and Val. The production team promises a visually rich and emotionally honest portrayal of Momoa’s journey, blending cinematic storytelling with grounded, real-life moments. According to Netflix, the film has been in development since late 2023 and includes extensive archival footage from Momoa’s early career, family life, and behind-the-scenes material from major film sets.
Fans can expect candid interviews with family members, co-stars, and collaborators such as Lisa Bonet, Emilia Clarke, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. These conversations will delve into Momoa’s personal challenges, his dedication to his craft, and the deep Polynesian cultural roots that influence his identity and performances. The documentary aims to celebrate not only his accomplishments but also his resilience and authenticity.
In a statement released by Netflix, Momoa shared his excitement about the project: “This documentary means the world to me. It’s a chance to reflect on how far I’ve come and to thank the people who helped me along the way. I’m proud of the journey, the battles, and the beauty that’s come with it.” His statement has already sparked excitement among fans, many of whom are eager to see a more personal side of the typically rugged and private star.
Momoa: Uncharted Depths is set to premiere globally on Netflix in October 2026. With its blend of action, emotion, and inspiration, the documentary is poised to be a must-watch for fans of Jason Momoa and anyone interested in the makings of a modern-day Hollywood hero. Whether you’re a die-hard Aquaman supporter or just discovering the depth behind the muscles, this documentary promises a revealing and unforgettable experience.
