Netflix announced a new program on the streaming service: Prime Time, starring Deion Sanders for 2026. It’s slated to be a three-episode series with each episode lasting 60 minutes.

The Colorado coach doesn’t shy away from the spotlight. Previously, Sanders had a camera and documentary crew follow him for an Amazon Prime show that followed him at Jackson State and Colorado.

With his sons and Travis Hunter off to the NFL, Sanders might have more of the spotlight on him in Year 2 at Colorado. You can see the brief trailer below.

“Guess what, I heard a rumor,” Sanders said in the video. “I ain’t one for rumors, but I heard a rumor. Prime Time, is going prime time on Netflix in 2026. Oh! Now give me my theme music.”

Sanders is 13-12 in two seasons at Colorado after going 27-6 at Jackson State over the course of three years. He led the Buffaloes to a 9-4 record last year, a No. 25 ranking and an Alamo Bowl appearance.

But with Shedeur Sanders no longer at QB, and Hunter preparing to play two positions in the NFL, Deion Sanders has to turn to a new quarterback and some new faces in 2025. Notably, the quarterback battle is between veteran Kaidon Salter, a Liberty transfer, and true freshman Julian Lewis, a four-star recruit.

“Totally different,” Sanders said of the top two quarterbacks. “They can play man, but they approach the game totally different. But we got to be better and coaching to their strengths, we got to be better to put them in the right situations for success, but those guys can play.”

Sanders knows what he has in Salter, but there’s still an evaluation period. Over the course of four seasons, he threw for 5,889 yards, 56 touchdowns, 17 interceptions and a 58.7% completion percentage. Not only that, he ran for 2,006 yards and 21 touchdowns.

As a member of the Class of 2024, Lewis was a four-star recruit out of Carrollton (Ga.) High, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 7 overall prospect in the state, the No. 7 quarterback in the class and the No. 56 overall prospect in the class.
