In a move that has thrilled fans, students, and alumni alike, Netflix has announced an exclusive and emotional documentary dedicated to West Virginia University.
The documentary is set to capture WVU’s essence from every angle — from roaring football nights at Milan Puskar Stadium to the quiet determination in classrooms and labs across Morgantown. It aims to showcase how the Mountaineer spirit transcends athletics and academics, embodying the values of resilience, unity, and grit that make the university’s legacy so unique.
According to early reports, Netflix producers spent months interviewing students, alumni, and staff members to tell stories of inspiration and struggle. Among the featured moments are WVU’s athletic triumphs, groundbreaking research projects, and emotional tales of students who overcame personal hardships to achieve greatness.
“This project isn’t just about a school — it’s about a family,” said one Netflix executive. “West Virginia University represents a spirit of hope that resonates far beyond the campus.”
The film will also feature never-before-seen footage from pivotal moments in Mountaineer sports, heartfelt tributes from former players, and cinematic views of Morgantown’s scenic hills. For fans, it’s a chance to relive the emotion and pride that come with wearing the gold and blue.
Set to premiere in early 2026, “Climbing Higher: The WVU Spirit” will serve as both a tribute and a time capsule — preserving the Mountaineer legacy for generations to come.
💙 Once a Mountaineer, Always a Mountaineer. 💛
