Tour de France: Unchained, the Netflix documentary series following cycling's biggest race, has been renewed for a third season. The series focus on bringing cycling towards the broader audience through exclusive back-stage shots, "catchy" stories, or displaying riders as normal human beings who also suffer on bikes.
The announcement was made by Netflix's official French social media accounts on Wednesday morning, with the tagline "We're off on another Tour!".

In the first season, which was released in June 2023 and followed the 2022 edition of the race, the teams included: Jumbo-Visma, Ineos Grenadiers, Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl, AG2R Citroën, Groupama - FDJ, Alpecin-Deceuninck and EF Education-EasyPost.
The second season went live on the streaming platform last month, and included two key additions, counting exclusive interviews with two-time Tour champion Tadej Pogacar and all-time stage win (at that time only shared) record holder Mark Cavendish.
The series has, however, come under criticism for its spotlighting of crashes, particularly in its trailers, the latest of which included a snippet of Jayco AlUla rider Lucas Hamilton somersaulting over a road barrier at the 2022 Itzulia Basque Country.
