The retired NBA superstar will tell all in the upcoming Netflix documentary series Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, out March 31.
The streamer released the trailer for the four-part series earlier today. The video shows Odom and those close to him detailing his life, drug-fueled downfall, and his road to recovery.
The trailer begins with a 911 call from a brothel as a woman on the phone pleads for first responders to “hurry please.”
“I had 12 strokes and six heart attacks. That’s not no average s–t,” Odom says.

The former Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers player recalls the first time he tried cocaine and says it “was amazing.”
Apparently everyone around him knew he had a serious drug problem, including his ex-wife Khloé Kardashian and former Lakers coach Phil Jackson.
“With Lamar, there were things that we accommodated,” Jackson shares.
On Oct. 13, 2015, Odom collapsed at the Love Ranch brothel outside Las Vegas after bingeing on cocaine and sexual enhancement supplements. He was rushed to a hospital and slipped into a coma.
When he woke up, his then-estranged wife Khloé was by his side.
“He would escape rehab and go on a drug bender,” she says in the trailer. “I just felt such a responsibility to cover this up and protect him.”
At the end of the teaser, Odom talks about cheating death. “The afterlife is not what people make it out to be,” he shares.
The docuseries comes from Propagate and Stardust Frames Productions and is directed by Ryan Duff.
It includes “never before heard revelations,” while exposing the “private struggles, hidden pressures, and pivotal decisions throughout Lamar’s life” that made him a tabloid staple.
The docuseries includes an interview with the former manager of the Love Ranch as the film revisits the infamous night that almost claimed Odom’s life.
Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom premieres March 31, 2026 on Netflix. The four episodes are described as “standalone stories” and will debut over four weeks.
