November 11, 2026 - Paramount+ announced today The Elite: Army Rangers, a first-of-its-kind docuseries narrated by Academy Award(R) nominee and three-time Emmy(R) winner Sterling K. Brown. The series premieres Tuesday, December 8.
Produced by Skydance Sports Entertainment, NFL Films, and PanCam Pictures, this four-part docuseries delivers an unprecedented look inside U.S. Army Ranger School, one of the world's most demanding leadership courses. Over 62 grueling days, a class of soldiers pushes through extreme physical and mental challenges to prove they have what it takes to earn one of the military's highest honors: the coveted Ranger Tab.

For many, it is the culmination of a lifelong dream and years of dedication towards a legacy, one that honors the bravery of the American men and women who serve our country.

"We are honored to help show what it takes to join one of the most respected units in the U.S. military."
