The Wait Is Over: Netflix Confirms Release Date for Savannah Bananas Documentary “New Era: It’s Time” Premiering on the 25th
In an announcement that has thrilled fans across the sports and entertainment world, Netflix has officially confirmed the release date of its long-awaited documentary on the Savannah Bananas. The highly anticipated series, titled New Era: It’s Time, will premiere globally on the 25th of this month, offering viewers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look into the electrifying phenomenon of Banana Ball.
The Savannah Bananas, a collegiate summer league baseball team turned cultural sensation, have become known worldwide for revolutionizing the traditional game of baseball into a spectacle of nonstop fun, energy, and fan-first entertainment. Founded in Savannah, Georgia, the team has transformed America’s pastime by creating their own version of the sport—“Banana Ball”—a fast-paced, rule-breaking twist on the game that emphasizes excitement, creativity, and fan engagement above all else.
Netflix’s new series is set to dive deep into this extraordinary journey, documenting not only the on-field antics and thrilling games but also the philosophy that drives the team’s meteoric rise. From choreographed dances and outrageous stunts to intimate moments with the players, coaches, and owners, New Era: It’s Time will highlight how the Bananas are rewriting the playbook for sports entertainment.
The documentary promises to explore the vision of team owner Jesse Cole, whose passion for fan-first experiences has redefined what it means to attend a live sporting event. Cole, often recognized for his signature bright yellow tuxedo, has described the Bananas not just as a baseball team, but as “a movement to make baseball fun again.” His bold ideas—ranging from TikTok-friendly stunts to international tours—have turned the Bananas into a viral phenomenon and a global conversation starter.
Netflix’s storytelling approach is expected to capture both the laughter and the heart behind the yellow-clad team. While viewers can expect the chaos of Banana Ball’s high-energy rules—such as no bunting, a two-hour time limit, and walk-offs that become races against the outfield—they will also be introduced to the real people who pour their hearts into this unique brand of baseball.
For fans who have followed the Bananas’ meteoric rise through viral clips, sold-out stadium tours, and media headlines, this documentary offers a chance to step into the dugout, the locker room, and even the creative boardroom where ideas that shock the sports world are born.
With the release date now set, anticipation is soaring. New Era: It’s Time is more than a sports documentary—it’s a celebration of creativity, joy, and the power of doing things differently. And for the Savannah Bananas, it may just mark the beginning of an even bigger chapter in their already legendary story.
