Netflix has released the trailer for Marines, a four-part documentary series premiering November 10, 2025, timed to the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps’ founding.
Produced by Amblin Entertainment Documentaries and Lucky8 TV and directed by Chelsea Yarnell (Cheer; America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders), the series offers rare access to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) in the Pacific, following young Marines through rigorous training, close-quarters life at sea, and the emotional toll of a “force in readiness.” Watch below:
Union LA led the editorial with Supervising Editor James Haygood, Producer Katherine LeBlond, Lead Editor Rodrigo Brazão, Assistant Editor Roman Petrov, and Post Production Coordinator Minna De Los Santos; the shop also oversaw finishing across the four 45-minute episodes.
Union bolstered the cut with a seasoned freelance squad: Fernanda Tornaghi (Lead Editor), Hans Ole Eicker (Additional Editor), and Andrew Doga (Additional Editor).
“Once we dug into this material, we discovered truly complex and emotional characters,” said Haygood. “And the military brass surprised us in supporting our push to tell those characters’ real and sometimes controversial stories.”
To keep viewers oriented as the narrative jumps between ships, drills, and global waypoints, Union NY built a clean, utilitarian graphics system. Chris Bialkowski and team, Lauren Hafner-Addison and Sean Vickery, delivered ship schematics, maps, and terminology callouts that elevate clarity without getting in the way of the action.
The project brings together a heavyweight producing roster: executive producers Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, Sebastian Junger, Kimberly Woodard, Greg Henry, Isaac Holub, and George Kralovansky, with Katie Goldstein and Arielle Kilker as co-executive producers.
With boots-on-deck access, crisp editorial, and restrained, information-forward graphics, Marines aims for a ground-truth portrait rather than propaganda—spotlighting the bonds, pressures, and personal reckonings inside one of America’s most storied units. The series debuts globally on Netflix on November 10.
