This year's Olympic film is taking on a very different format: the film is being directed and produced by the Naudet brothers (Jules and Gédéon), which produced the CBS documentary "9/11"; hence, its storytelling will be fly-on-the-wall, immersive and human-interest-led, in the line of their own documentaries, with cues from "Drive to Survive" and "Welcome to Wrexham", and it prioritizing a day-by-day behind-the-scenes look of the Organizing Committee, event organisation, and the volunteers.

Produced by Elephant Doc and France TV Studio, the film will be made in two versions: one will be structured as a limited TV series, with three 52 minute episodes airing before the Games on France 2, and two additional ones airing after the Paralympics; the other will be the feature-length 90 minute version screened in cinemas, which will be cut from the five TV episodes; the IOC will also sell subtitled versions of both the series and the film to RHBs worldwide.

Netflix has also teamed with the IOC to produce three Olympic Channel documentaries exclusive to the platform, as part of the network's ongoing expansion into other streaming platforms, plus licensing and content agreements with international RHBs.
