In a celebration of grit, voice, and legacy, Netflix has officially announced the upcoming release of its latest emotional sports documentary titled “The Under-Voice,” shining a powerful spotlight on Greg Sharpe, the beloved voice behind Husker Radio and a living legend at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Set to premiere on [Release Date TBD], the documentary promises to offer an intimate and inspiring look at Sharpe’s journey from humble beginnings to becoming the unmistakable voice that has echoed through Nebraska’s stadiums, living rooms, and hearts for decades.
Greg Sharpe may not have had the high-profile career of an athlete or coach, but his voice has defined an era. Known for his passionate play-by-play commentary, authentic emotion, and unwavering loyalty to the Huskers, Sharpe has become a staple in the lives of countless fans across Nebraska and beyond. “The Under-Voice” explores this legacy through behind-the-scenes footage, family interviews, archival game broadcasts, and heartfelt commentary from former athletes, colleagues, and fans who credit Sharpe’s voice with bringing the spirit of Nebraska football to life.
Netflix describes the documentary as a “tribute to one man’s voice, and how that voice became the heartbeat of a community.” Executive producers have noted that this film is not just about sports broadcasting—it’s about identity, perseverance, and the often-overlooked power of storytelling through sound.
In the trailer, Sharpe is seen walking the halls of Memorial Stadium, his voice overlaying key moments from iconic games. He reflects humbly on his journey:
> “I never thought I’d be the voice anyone listened to. I just wanted to be honest, passionate, and make people feel the game like I felt it.”
The announcement of the documentary has sparked an outpouring of love across social media, with Husker fans, alumni, and former players sharing emotional memories tied to Sharpe’s voice. Many recalled specific moments in Nebraska football history where Sharpe’s calls became just as iconic as the plays themselves. One fan tweeted, “Greg Sharpe didn’t just call the games—he was the game.”
Sharpe’s rise wasn’t always smooth. The film highlights his early struggles to break into the industry, balancing personal challenges and career setbacks with a deep love for his craft. Despite being underrated for years on the national stage, he remained fiercely dedicated to the Cornhuskers, becoming a symbol of homegrown pride and loyalty.
As Netflix expands its sports documentary catalog, “The Under-Voice” follows in the footsteps of other emotional hits like The Last Dance and Quarterback, but with a quieter, more personal tone. It’s a story not of championships, but of commitment, humility, and the voice behind the moments that matter.
“The Under-Voice” is more than just a documentary—it’s a love letter to college sports, to Nebraska, and to the people behind the mic who shape how we remember the games we love.
