The documentary follows Vinícius's journey from humble beginnings in Sao Goncalo, Brazil, to the grand stage of the Santiago Bernabeu.
Netflix has already released a teaser across its social media platforms, which gives a glimpse of the player's journey throughout his career.
The documentary also delves into the harsh realities the player has faced off the pitch — most notably, the racist abuse he suffered in several stadiums, including the widely condemned incident in Valencia.
The film features interviews with football icons and teammates including Neymar, Jude Bellingham, Toni Kroos, Roberto Carlos, and Karim Benzema — all sharing their perspectives on the Brazilian winger's influence on and off the pitch.

'Dramatic Shift In Commissioning' Could Be Problem For British TV Industry, Says Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy
A 'dramatic shift in TV commissioning' has seen the UK become a world leader in high-end drama while the value of smaller shows plummets, according to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy. Delivering a keynote at the Deloitte Conference, Nandy said 'too many talented creatives have been left out of work' by this shift, leaving her concerned. More from Deadline Netflix EMEA Chief Puts 'Mr Bates' Debate To Bed: "We Absolutely Would Have Commissioned It In The UK" Sony's Wayne Garvie Roasts "Ridiculous" Channel 4 In-House Plan: "It Could Be Potentially Disastrous" BBC Director General Floats Concerning Vision Of Future Where "People Don't Care" About Nation's Oldest Public Broadcaster She said this has come as broadcast viewing declines by one third while streaming 'soars,' leading to a change in the content mix. 'Take, for example, the dramatic shift in TV commissioning patterns that have seen the UK become a world leader at high-end [drama] at the same time as smaller producers have seen the value of their commissions fall by one third,' she said. The 'squeezed middle' dropping out of the UK indie market was the talk of last year's Edinburgh TV Festival, although 2025 has been characterized by a scripted funding crisis driven by American co-producers pulling out of the UK. Nandy said the UK government is providing solutions, however. She flagged improvements like the recent Media Act, providing a 'more sustainable settlement for PSBs so they continue to invest in high quality original content,' she said. While she pointed to smaller commissions declining, she flagged later in her speech that cheaper fare like Come Dine With Me and 'everything in between' are selling just as well as big high-end dramas like Doctor Who and Bridgerton around the world. Possibly nodding to the UK government's refusal to impose a levy on the streamers, Nandy said she wants a 'sustainable ecosystem' for both PSBs and streamers across the UK. 'We won't penalize you through taxes and levies but ensure we have a regulatory framework that creates opportunities for business both big and small and for UK talent to be showcased across the world,' added Nandy. Nandy was speaking at the Deloitte and Enders Media & Telecoms 2025 and Beyond Conference just prior to BBC boss Tim Davie and Netflix EMEA chief Larry Tanz.

Walmart's $50 Onn 4K Pro just got a major upgrade to Android TV 14
Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR Walmart's Onn 4K Pro has received its long-overdue update to Android TV 14. The update's changelog mentions a new security patch level and minor bug fixes. Users have reported that the update also includes a new boot screen with a black background. Some users report that Dolby Vision issues remain unresolved or worsened for certain apps like Plex. Walmart launched the Onn 4K Pro in May 2024 with Google TV based on Android TV 12 out of the box. As we noted in our Onn 4K Pro review, it is an impressive Chromecast 4K competitor that doubles up as a Google Assistant-based smart speaker. However, users who bought this $50 streaming box have complained about the lack of updates, especially platform updates. There's good news, though, as a new update is rolling out to Onn 4K Pro that bumps it up to Android TV 14. Reddit user geeeman5510 spotted an update to the Onn 4K Pro and shared its update screen, which highlights the platform update to Android TV 14: The changelog also mentions a security patch level update and minor bug fixes. Based on user comments, the update seems to be rolling out in the US, as users in Canada are not yet receiving it. Beyond the changelog, users mention that the update fixes lag issues and provides a smoother experience. Apparently, there's also a new boot screen with a black background. Some users point out that the update possibly fixes the always-on Dolby Vision bug with Netflix, though it is possible that the issue could have been resolved through a Netflix app update. However, one user mentions that their Settings app crashes when navigating to the 'Match content frame rate' stub. Another user mentions that enabling content adaptive switching breaks Dolby Vision, forcing Dolby Vision content in apps like Plex to fall back to HDR. If you have the Onn 4K Pro, check your box to see if you have received the Android TV 14 update. Let us know your experience with Dolby Vision content and any other changes you find in the new update in the comments below!

If you loved Dept Q, this is how to watch the gripping Scandi film series version for free
If like us, you spent your weekend intensely binge-watching Netflix's newest thriller series Dept Q and are already desperate for more, then you're in luck. No, the series hasn't yet been confirmed for series two just yet (fingers crossed tho!), but there is in fact an entire movie series of the same books you can watch right now. Dept Q is based on a series of books by Jussi Adler-Olsen and follows Detective Carl Morck who is set up in a new department investigating cold cases in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Netflix series follows the first book in the series closely but makes one big change - it's set in Scotland and is in English. But the Netflix version isn't the only adaptation of the story. A few years after the novel was originally published in 2007, a Scandi film adaption was made of the novel, and we've got all the details on where to see it and its sequels. The Department Q novel series began in 2007 by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen and he has since published 10 novels in the series, all following Detective Carl Morck as he solves cold cases alongside his team of Assad (Akram in the Netflix series) and Rose. The most recent novel Locked In in the series was published in 2021 and sees Carl himself behind bars. Several years after the release of the first novel in the Department Q series Mercy, in 2013 a movie adaptation of the novel was released in Denmark called The Keeper of Lost Causes. It stars Nikolaj Lie Kaas as Detective Carl Morck, Fares Fares as Assad and Sonja Richter as Merete Lynnggard, and follows a similar plot to that of the Netflix series. The second film The Absent One, based on the novel of the same was released a year later in 2014 and follows Carl and Assad investigating the double murder of a pair of twins whose death was meant to have been solved 20 years ago. A third film in the series A Conspiracy of Faith was released in 2016 and shows what happens after an eight old message in a bottle turns up. There was also a fourth film The Purity of Vengenace released in 2018 which is about what happens when the duo discover three mummified bodies in an apartment. If you want to see more of this unlikely police duo solving cold cases then thankfully you can find all four of the movies online. They are all available through ViaPlay on Prime Video and right now you can try a free seven day trial of ViaPlay. After the week is up this then auto-renews for £4.99 a month if you don't cancel it after your trial. SIGN UP FOR PRIME VIDEO HERE Dept Q is available on Netflix now
