Netflix is delivering something fans never expected but now can’t wait to see — a fiery, star-studded film documentary that flips the script on the life of New England Patriots legend Tom Brady. Titled The Roast of Tom Brady, this special is part documentary, part comedy extravaganza, and all-out entertainment. Premiering globally as part of Netflix’s “Netflix Is A Joke Fest,” this film offers an untold side of the greatest quarterback of all time — through the lens of laughter, legends, and locker room stories.
The 2024 Netflix original brings together an A-list lineup of former teammates, celebrity comedians, and even NFL coaches — all gathered to fire shots at the GOAT in a roast that only Brady could endure with a smile. Hosted by comedian Kevin Hart, The Roast of Tom Brady pulls no punches. It dives deep into his legendary career, from his early days as a sixth-round pick to becoming a seven-time Super Bowl champion with both the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
While this special isn’t your typical dramatic sports documentary, it manages to offer fans a unique glimpse behind the curtain — full of real stories, inside jokes, and brutal honesty — all told by the people who know Brady best. The show features former Patriots stars like Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, and even longtime head coach Bill Belichick, who rarely speaks this candidly on camera. That alone is reason for NFL fans to tune in.
What makes this documentary stand out, especially on platforms like Facebook and social media, is its broad appeal. Comedy is shareable, relatable, and viral — and when mixed with football greatness, it’s pure gold. Unlike traditional sports docs that dive into scandals or tragic falls, The Roast of Tom Brady celebrates his triumphs with humor and heart. It’s the type of content fans will love to comment on, tag friends in, and share again and again.
In contrast, past Netflix features like Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez delivered a much darker tone. While compelling and informative, that docuseries explored the tragic downfall of another former Patriots star, delving into murder, mental health struggles, and CTE-related trauma. It was powerful storytelling — but not the kind fans tend to celebrate publicly or spread across social media timelines.
That’s why The Roast of Tom Brady is poised to dominate attention online and beyond. It’s fun, unexpected, and filled with legendary names throwing playful jabs at the most decorated player in NFL history. For once, we get to see Brady not under center, but center stage — facing a barrage of comedy instead of pass rushers.
Whether you’re a die-hard Patriots fan, a Brady admirer, or someone who just loves football and fun, this is the documentary event you won’t want to miss. Set your reminders, grab your popcorn, and get ready to laugh — The Roast of Tom Brady is about to make history all over again. Streaming globally only on Netflix.
