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

Netflix has reserved its most personal chapter of ‘Untold’ for the finale, focusing not on scores but on the man behind one of pop culture’s most recognizable faces. This concluding entry in the series of standalone sports documentaries dives deep into the life of Laurence Tureaud, better known as Mr. T, exploring the story behind his iconic gold chains, mohawk, and catchphrase that defined a generation.

‘Untold Mr. T: I Pity The Fool’ serves as the finale of a trilogy that has recently examined college football scandals and Olympic viral fame. This installment shifts the spotlight entirely to Mr. T, chronicling his journey from a Chicago neighborhood to becoming a cultural icon.

Set to premiere exclusively on Netflix on September 8, 2026, ‘Untold Mr. T: I Pity The Fool’ will be available for streaming and download through the platform. Directed by Scott Weintrob, the documentary features interviews with Mr. T himself, providing an intimate look at his life.

This latest series of ‘Untold’ films has been released weekly, beginning with ‘Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young’ on August 25, followed by ‘Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly’ on September 1. ‘Untold Mr. T: I Pity The Fool’ will wrap up the trilogy on September 8.

Netflix unveiled the official trailer for the documentary on August 19, 2026, offering fans a glimpse into Tureaud’s remarkable journey from anonymity to stardom.

The documentary traces Tureaud’s upbringing 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. It follows his football scholarship at Prairie View A&M University, his military service, and his early career as a celebrity bodyguard before he ventured into entertainment.

His breakthrough came after he was spotted on the show ‘Games People Play,’ leading to his casting as Clubber Lang in ‘Rocky III.’ The film chronicles how his unique look and signature line, ‘I pity the fool,’ propelled him into the spotlight, making him one of the most recognizable figures in pop culture almost overnight.

By the mid-1980s, Mr. T had become a cultural phenomenon, appearing on everything from cereal boxes to toy shelves. The documentary also highlights his appearances in ‘WrestleMania’ 1 and 2, a guest hosting role on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and his involvement in Nancy Reagan’s Just Say No campaign, culminating in his iconic role as B.A. Baracus on ‘The A-Team.’

‘Untold Mr. T: I Pity The Fool’ is the third installment in Netflix’s latest trio of standalone ‘Untold’ films, following ‘Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young,’ which explores the rise and fall of the former Texas Longhorns quarterback, and ‘Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly,’ which delves into the viral fame of Olympic breakdancer Rachael Raygun Gunn.

Together, these three films maintain the format that has made ‘Untold’ a staple of Netflix’s documentary offerings, with each entry functioning as a standalone feature rather than a serialized season. Developed by Chapman Way and Maclain Way, the series continues to showcase character-driven sports and culture stories.

Ending the run with a decades-spanning origin story about an ’80s pop culture icon is a striking choice, reflecting how ‘Untold’ has broadened its definition of a sports narrative.

Early reactions to the trailer indicate that this installment resonates with fans in a way that feels different from the franchise’s typical scandal-driven focus. Many viewers appreciate the series’ occasional departure from recent sports history to highlight a figure who remains largely unknown despite his significant cultural impact.

This curiosity is generating buzz ahead of the September 8 premiere, as the film is positioned more as a heartfelt character study rather than a scandal expose. With ‘Untold’ demonstrating its ability to transition from courtroom drama to Olympic controversy to an ’80s icon’s origin story seamlessly, fans are left wondering if they are more excited to learn about the man behind Mr. T’s mohawk or if they preferred the series’ usual focus on sports scandals.
