Netflix Unveils Gripping Trailer for Travis Fimmel Documentary — A Deep Dive Into the Man Behind the Myth
Netflix has just dropped the official trailer for its upcoming Travis Fimmel documentary and it’s already igniting conversations across the globe.
Best known for his iconic role as Ragnar Lothbrok in Vikings, Travis Fimmel has long fascinated fans not just with his magnetic on-screen presence, but also with the mystery surrounding his off-screen life. Now, for the first time, Netflix is lifting the veil in what promises to be an emotionally raw, visually stunning, and deeply personal portrait of the Australian actor.
Titled “FIMMEL: Beyond the Beard,” the documentary will chart Fimmel’s unconventional journey from farm boy and Calvin Klein model to global TV star and reluctant celebrity. The trailer teases a series of candid interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and rare glimpses into Fimmel’s private world, including heartfelt moments with family, old friends, and fellow cast members.
> “I never wanted fame… I just liked telling stories,” Fimmel is heard saying in the trailer, his voice laced with sincerity and introspection.
The documentary doesn’t shy away from complexity. It explores Fimmel’s struggles with fame, his love for the land and solitude, his refusal to conform to Hollywood standards, and the quiet resilience that’s made him a fan favorite. It also highlights his creative evolution from action-packed roles to more nuanced performances in recent indie films and his work behind the camera.
Fans of Vikings, Raised by Wolves, and Fimmel’s broader filmography will be treated to exclusive throwback moments, but this isn’t just for the diehards. The documentary positions itself as a study in authenticity the story of a man who became a legend without ever chasing the spotlight.
“FIMMEL: Beyond the Beard” premieres globally on Netflix this fall.
