The Dallas Cowboys have long been known as "America's Team," and now they will be under the spotlight in a new documentary series.

Netflix announced on Thursday that America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is coming in 2025 and gave fans a first look at the docuseries with a new trailer featuring Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and legends like Deion Sanders, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Jimmy Johnson and many more:

"America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is the definitive story of The Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones' impact on NFL history," Netflix's logline stated in a release. "What began as a daring purchase led to the assembly of the iconic '90s football team – a decade-plus journey, led by Jones' intrepid business moves, that revolutionized global sports and resulted in three NFL titles. Through first-hand interviews and never-before-seen footage, this series unravels the dramatic twists and turns on the road to the Cowboys becoming the most valuable sports franchise in the world."

The Cowboys docuseries is being helmed by Emmy Award-winning directors Chapman and Maclain Way, who previously directed Netflix documentaries like Untold, Wild Wild Country and Kings of Tupelo.

In addition to interviews with Jones and the star players and coaches who helped lead Dallas to three Super Bowl titles in the 1990s, other political and pop culture figures will also be featured in the series such as President George W. Bush, Nike founder Phil Knight and media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

The Cowboys have struggled to recapture the success of their 1990s run, but that hasn't hurt their popularity. Dallas is home to some of the biggest stars in the NFL today like quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and edge rusher Micah Parsons. The team currently has a 6-8 record entering its matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football.

Fans will certainly enjoy getting an in-depth look at the evolution of the Cowboys under Jones as they established themselves as "America's Team."
