Toronto, — Netflix has officially announced an upcoming sports documentary that will take a behind-the-scenes look at two of Major League Baseball’s most electrifying stars—Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. Titled “North of the Diamond: The Guerrero-Bichette Legacy,” the feature-length documentary will chronicle the rise, impact, and cultural significance of the two Toronto Blue Jays cornerstones, offering unprecedented access into their personal lives, professional journeys, and enduring friendship.

Set to premiere globally in Fall 2025, the documentary is being developed in collaboration with MLB Productions and will feature exclusive interviews, never-before-seen footage, and commentary from teammates, coaches, family members, and some of the biggest names in the sport.

A Generation-Defining Duo

Since their MLB debuts—Guerrero Jr. in 2019 and Bichette shortly after—they have reshaped not only the future of the Blue Jays franchise but also the face of baseball in Canada. The duo quickly rose to prominence with their dynamic playstyles, charisma, and unmistakable chemistry on and off the field.

“Vlad and Bo aren’t just players—they’re cultural icons,” said Brandon Riegg, Netflix VP of Unscripted and Documentary Series. “They represent a generational shift in baseball, where talent meets personality, and tradition intersects with swagger. We’re proud to bring their story to a global audience.”

Born Into Baseball Royalty

The documentary will also explore the unique lineage of both athletes. Guerrero Jr., the son of Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Sr., and Bichette, son of former MLB slugger Dante Bichette, were born into baseball royalty—but their journeys have been anything but guaranteed.

Through intimate interviews and archival home videos, the documentary will reveal how both stars carved their own paths, navigating the weight of legacy, cultural expectations, and the pressure of carrying one of baseball’s most storied franchises into a new era.

“You’ll see the struggles, the sacrifices, and the sheer work ethic that often gets overlooked,” said the film’s director, Emmy-nominated documentarian Ava Morales (Hardball Nation). “This is about identity, family, loyalty—and what it means to build something lasting, together.”

The Toronto Years

North of the Diamond will focus heavily on their years in Toronto, showcasing the highs and lows of the Blue Jays’ competitive run in the 2020s. From Guerrero’s 48-home-run MVP-caliber season in 2021 to Bichette’s consistent dominance at shortstop, the documentary highlights their pivotal roles in making the Blue Jays postseason contenders year after year.

Behind-the-scenes footage from the clubhouse, dugout, and even road trips gives fans an unfiltered look at their leadership roles, the brotherhood among teammates, and the pressures of playing in a city where expectations have soared since the duo arrived.

It will also delve into their influence off the field—highlighting their philanthropic efforts in both Canada and their native countries, the Dominican Republic and the United States. From youth baseball clinics in Toronto parks to building baseball academies back home, their off-field impact has been as substantial as their stats.

A Defining Moment for Canadian Baseball

With the Blue Jays entering a new chapter—following the renovation of the Rogers Centre and an influx of young talent—the legacy of Guerrero Jr. and Bichette is viewed as foundational. They’ve inspired a new generation of Canadian baseball fans and, perhaps more importantly, a diverse wave of future athletes.

“Growing up in Vancouver, I wanted to be like Vlad. I saw someone who looked like me, who spoke like my family, and who made baseball feel fun again,” says 13-year-old Elijah Reyes, one of many youth players featured in the documentary.

As baseball faces questions about its future relevance, particularly among younger audiences, North of the Diamond aims to show how these two stars helped bridge that generational and cultural gap.

Global Premiere & What’s Next

The documentary is set to premiere in October 2025, just in time for the MLB postseason—a fitting backdrop considering the duo’s history of rising to the occasion on the sport’s biggest stage.

“Bo and I always said we wanted to build something real in Toronto,” Guerrero Jr. says in the film’s teaser trailer. “Not just a team—but a legacy.”

Netflix has confirmed that a follow-up docuseries is already in early discussions, possibly expanding into the broader resurgence of baseball in Canada and Latin America, with Guerrero and Bichette playing central roles.

As for the film itself, early screenings suggest a compelling mix of nostalgia, candidness, and celebration. Whether you’re a lifelong Jays fan, a casual baseball viewer, or someone who loves a story of family, ambition, and identity, North of the Diamond promises to be one of 2025’s most impactful sports documentaries.
