The wait is officially over. Netflix has confirmed that its much-anticipated documentary on the Savannah Bananas, New Era: It’s Time, will premiere on the 25th of this month. For fans of both baseball and bold storytelling, this promises to be a behind-the-scenes adventure unlike anything the streaming platform has produced before.
The Savannah Bananas have redefined America’s pastime, turning a traditional sport into a fast-paced, laugh-filled spectacle known as Banana Ball. Their games are as much about entertainment as they are about competition—featuring dancing players, trick plays, and rules designed to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Now, New Era: It’s Time aims to capture not just the spectacle, but also the heart, hustle, and vision behind the team’s meteoric rise.
According to early teasers, the series will follow players, coaches, and staff as they navigate the challenges of running a baseball revolution. From high-energy performances at historic Grayson Stadium to their headline-making national tours, viewers will get an all-access pass to the creative chaos that fuels the Bananas’ global popularity. The documentary also highlights the personal stories of the athletes—men who balance the pressures of performance with the joy of spreading fun wherever they play.
For Netflix, the project signals its growing interest in sports documentaries that go beyond wins and losses, instead spotlighting culture, innovation, and humanity. For the Bananas, it is a chance to share their message with millions more: that baseball can be joyful, inclusive, and inspiring.
With its mix of heartwarming moments, behind-the-scenes drama, and pure spectacle, New Era: It’s Time is poised to be a home run for fans old and new. On the 25th, the world will finally see why the Savannah Bananas aren’t just a team—they’re a movement.
