“The Drought”: Rumored Netflix Series Explores Cowboys’ 29-Year Super Bowl Dry Spell

A rumor has gone viral suggesting Netflix is quietly producing a Dallas Cowboys documentary.

A recent anonymous post on Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) ignited speculation that Netflix is working on a new docuseries titled “The Drought,” centered on the Cowboys’ infamous 29-year Super Bowl drought. According to the post, filming has already wrapped and the project is now in post-production.

Cowboys fans instantly lit up the conversation. The title “The Drought” trended across platforms, with fans expecting a behind-the-scenes breakdown of everything from the glory days of Troy Aikman to the Dak Prescott era. Some reports even suggested a global Netflix release this fall, just ahead of the 2025 season.

Both Netflix and the Cowboys have declined to comment. Netflix stated it “does not comment on unannounced projects,” while the Cowboys organization remained silent. Interestingly, a listing on IMDb briefly appeared showing “The Drought – Post Production”, with no director named.

Still, media analysts urge caution. One source close to Netflix claimed: “This title hasn’t been scheduled for release officially.” That doesn’t rule out its existence — just its confirmation.

Real or not, the idea of “The Drought” as an unfiltered Hard Knocks-style documentary may just be the offseason story that grabs everyone’s attention.
