Hulk Hogan was filming a Netflix documentary at the time of his death

Hulk Hogan was in the midst of filming a documentary project for Netflix at the time of his death, CNN has learned.

The wrestling legend died earlier this week, at the age of 71.

The previously unannounced project, made in partnership with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), is intended to chronicle the wrestling legend’s storied life and career, on and off screen, and will still be released after Hogan’s sudden passing, according to sources associated with the project. Filming remains ongoing.

One source close to the untitled documentary said that the project has been in the works since 2024. Over 20 hours of unseen sit-down interviews with Hogan have already been completed, and an additional 30 hours of scenes have already been shot.

The documentary was being produced with Hogan’s full participation. “People will see a side of him they haven’t seen before,” the source told CNN.
