Popular Netflix documentary series Tour de France: Unchained confirmed to return for a third season in 2025
Other
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.

- I hope you are wrong but I suspect you will be proved correct. It might do something for Scottish tourism - although due to logistics the route skips the most spectacular parts of Scotland. It will bring in short term money no doubt, but will cycling overall in the U,K benifit? I doubt it. Even at £2 a litre the bits love thei cars,Cyclingsbestfan07-11-2026
- Lucky to not get disqualified
leedorney07-11-2026 - The road from Holyrood to Edinburgh Castle is a nice steady climb of just over a mile that is cobbled in many parts. (Very slippery if wet!) If the teams are going by one by one that will give fans an even better view of the riders up close than the castle esplanade.Cyclingsbestfan07-11-2026

- It would be great if the World Champion's jersey could be rotated among McNulty, Simmons, and Jorgenson. They threaded the needle perfectly. If each hadn't done exactly what he did, exactly when he did it, the race would have gone to one of the more heralded superstars. That said, how nice that this humble and hardworking guy gets his moment in the sun.
