Netflix announced the release dates for Volume 3 of its docuseries “UNTOLD,” which will premiere weekly beginning Aug. 1. Volume 3 features stories surrounding Jake Paul, Johnny Manziel, Victor Conte and BALCO and culminate with the heavily anticipated “Swamp Kings” highlighting head coach Urban Meyer, quarterback Tim Tebow and the rest of the 2006-2009 Florida Gators football team.
Netflix will release those films across four weeks starting with “UNTOLD: Jake Paul the Problem Child” and finishing with “UNTOLD Swamp Kings.” The first three installments about Paul, Manziel and Conte will each be a film running at 70-75 minutes. The Gators' story will be four episodes, each about 45 minutes.
During an appearance on "The Buddy Martin Show" last week, Meyer called the documentary, which drops on Aug. 22, "a celebration of some great football players and a great football team and a great university."
Meyer added: "There were some lows. We lost a few games. We had some issues on the team. But we also had incredible people. Great, great football players and great people and one of the greatest football players of all time in the quarterback, Timmy [Tebow]."

This airs Aug. 8, and will highlight the rise and fall of one of the most notorious “what-if” stories from college football.
