Netflix has recently proven to be a treasure trove for sports lovers, as it has a number of documentaries on it that take you on an exciting journey through the ups and downs of the sports field and let you in on the untold secrets behind success stories and historic moments. Two of its most talked-about documentaries, Full Swing and Tour de France: Unchained, have recently been renewed for new seasons.
The second season of Full Swing premiered on Netflix in March this year, while Tour de France: Unchained season 2 was released just a few months ago in June. Here’s what we know about both series and their third season renewals.
