Yes, it’s true. After news broke recently that Netflix would be releasing a documentary on Toronto’s infamous former mayor, Rob Ford, we have a release date. The doc will hit Netflix accounts on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. Here’s what we know so far.

According to Netflix, “Rob Ford scandalized Canadian politics as the brash yet beloved mayor of Toronto — until an infamous video of him smoking crack sparked his downfall.” Oh my.

Viewers will get a deeper look into Ford’s tenure as mayor from 2010 to 2014, the scandals that came along with it, and his eventual downfall.

A clip from the documentary posted by Netflix shows an extra juicy bit, where Ford’s team was actually bribed $100,000 for the video of the former mayor doing drugs to remain unreleased.

The doc is part of Netflix’s “Trainwreck” series. The series “revisits some of the most gripping, bizarre — and sometimes even horrifying — events that once dominated the mainstream media.”

The episodes will release throughout summer 2025, with other topics including the Woodstock 99 festival, Astroworld, and even the “cult” of American Apparel.

There are eight episodes in total, with Mayor of Mayhem as the second release, following the story of Astroworld.

I don’t know about you, but my plans for Tuesday will include a cold beverage, some snacks, my couch, and what is sure to be an unforgettable walk down memory lane.
