Legendary gymnast Simone Biles added to her legacy with a stellar showing at the Paris Olympics this summer, and her journey through the Games will be the subject of a new documentary on Netflix.
The streaming giant announced on Wednesday that Simone Biles Rising: Part Two will be released on Oct. 25. The announcement featured a trailer with Biles doing a parody of the Netflix romantic comedy-drama series Emily in Paris:

At the Paris Olympics, Biles earned gold medals in the team competition, the individual all-around and the individual vault while also taking a silver medal in the individual floor exercise. She now has a total of 11 Olympic medals in her storied career, the most ever by an American gymnast and tied for the second-most all-time.
The first part of Simone Biles Rising was released last month and documented the 27-year-old’s journey back to the Olympics after she withdrew from the Tokyo Games in 2021 due to a need to address her mental health.
Fans will certainly be excited to tune in and watch Biles’ triumphant return to the world stage in the second part of the documentary this fall.
