‘Untold’ Volume 6 Finale Release Date, Time, Preview and Where to Watch ‘Mr. T: I Pity the Fool’

Netflix has saved its most personal chapter of ‘Untold’ for last, and it has nothing to do with a scoreboard. Instead, the streamer is closing out its latest run of standalone sports documentaries with a deep dive into the man behind one of pop culture’s most instantly recognizable faces.

‘Untold Mr. T: I Pity The Fool’ arrives as the finale of a three film run that has spent the past few weeks tackling college football scandal and Olympic viral fame. This time, the focus shifts entirely to Laurence Tureaud, the Chicago kid who became Mr. T, and the story behind the gold chains, the mohawk, and the catchphrase that defined an era.

‘Untold: Mr. T’ Release Date And Where To Watch

‘Untold Mr. T: I Pity The Fool’ is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix on September 8, 2026, and will be available to stream and download directly through the service. The documentary is directed by Scott Weintrob and features Mr. T himself alongside Weintrob in interview segments throughout the film.

This latest batch of ‘Untold’ films rolled out on a weekly cadence rather than dropping all at once. The run began with ‘Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young’ on August 25, followed by ‘Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly’ on September 1, before ‘Untold Mr. T: I Pity The Fool’ rounds things out as the third and final entry on September 8.

Netflix released the official trailer for the documentary on August 19, 2026, giving fans their first extended look at Tureaud’s journey from obscurity to icon.

What ‘Untold Mr. T: I Pity The Fool’ Is Actually About

The documentary traces Tureaud’s path from his childhood in a three bedroom home on Chicago’s South Side, where he was raised alongside eleven siblings by a minister father and a devoted mother. From there, the film follows his football scholarship at Prairie View A&M University, his time serving in the Army, and his stretch working as a celebrity bodyguard before entertainment ever entered the picture.

His breakthrough eventually came after he was noticed during an appearance on the show ‘Games People Play,’ which led directly to his casting as Clubber Lang in ‘Rocky III.’ From there, the film traces how his television and film roles, distinctive look, and signature line, ‘I pity the fool,’ turned him into one of the most recognizable figures in pop culture almost overnight.

By the mid 1980s, Mr. T had become an inescapable cultural force, appearing on everything from branded cereal boxes to toy shelves. The documentary also touches on his run in ‘WrestleMania’ 1 and 2, a guest hosting stint on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and his high profile involvement in Nancy Reagan’s Just Say No campaign, before landing his most iconic television role as B.A. Baracus on ‘The A-Team.’

The Full Lineup Behind ‘Untold Mr. T: I Pity The Fool’

‘Untold Mr. T: I Pity The Fool’ does not exist in a vacuum. It is the third installment in Netflix’s latest trio of standalone ‘Untold’ films, following ‘Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young,’ which examines the turbulent rise and fall of the former Texas Longhorns quarterback, and ‘Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly,’ which goes inside the internet firestorm surrounding Olympic breakdancer Rachael Raygun Gunn following her viral routine at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Together, the three films continue the format that has made ‘Untold’ a reliable staple of Netflix’s documentary slate, with each entry functioning as a self contained feature rather than a serialized season. The series remains developed by Chapman Way and Maclain Way, whose eye for character driven sports and culture stories has carried the franchise since its earliest volumes.

Coming right after a viral Olympic scandal and a college football saga, a decades spanning origin story about an ’80s pop culture fixture is a striking way to end the run, and it says something about how far ‘Untold’ has stretched its definition of a sports story.

Fans Are Already Excited For a Different Kind of ‘Untold’ Story

Early reaction to the trailer suggests this entry is landing with fans in a way that feels distinct from the franchise’s usual scandal driven fare. One reaction to the trailer noted an appreciation for how the series occasionally steps away from recent sports history to spotlight a figure who has not been covered before, adding that despite Mr. T’s massive cultural footprint, most people know surprisingly little about the man himself.

That sense of curiosity seems to be part of what is generating buzz ahead of the September 8 premiere, with the film positioned less as a scandal expose and more as a heartfelt character study of an entertainer whose public image often overshadowed his personal story.

With ‘Untold’ proving yet again that it can pivot from courtroom drama to Olympic controversy to an ’80s icon’s origin story without missing a beat, are you more excited to finally learn the man behind Mr. T’s mohawk, or were you hoping this run would stick closer to the franchise’s usual sports scandal territory?
