Final season of Unchained to drop just before Tour de France

Netflix’s Tour de France: Unchained is coming to an end—its third and final season will release on July 2, just three days before the Grand Départ in Lille. The new trailer puts the spotlight on 2024 champion Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates, along with key storylines like Cavendish’s 35th stage win, Girmay’s breakthrough, and the race’s usual dose of drama and crashes.

The decision to cancel the docuseries after three seasons was confirmed earlier this year, reportedly due to high production costs and underwhelming viewership in France. Originally launched in 2022 to bring pro cycling to a broader audience, Unchained followed the playbook of Drive to Survive, delivering behind-the-scenes access to some of the sport’s biggest moments.

For those wondering, yes, we still plan to produce the Unchained Binge podcasts, just as we did for the last two seasons. Given the proximity to the TDF start, exactly when we'll make them is not yet sorted out. For now, just subscribe to that podcast channel and you'll get them when they're released.
