Netflix Japan has just dropped its latest high-intensity competition series, Final Draft, and it’s already making waves with fans of physical survival reality shows. The eight-episode series, streaming worldwide on Tuesday, August 12, showcases 25 former elite athletes from across sports, each competing for a massive 30 million yen prize and a chance to reclaim their glory.
The show’s brutal challenges demand not only strength and endurance, but also mental resilience, strategy, and psychological warfare as contestants battle to eliminate one another.
A Star-Studded Athlete Lineup
Final Draft features a diverse roster of former professional and national-team athletes, including:
- Yoshito Okubo – Former Japan national soccer team
- Hozumi Hasegawa – Former boxing world champion
- Eri Tosaka – Former Japan national wrestling team
- Kazuhiro Goya – Japan national rugby sevens
- Atsushi Arai – Japan national water polo team
- Sari Baba – Former professional tennis player
…and many more from baseball, judo, gymnastics, kabaddi, and even ultimate frisbee.
These competitors are bringing their best to survive the game but this time, it’s not just about their original sport.
World Chase Tag® Joins the Action
Fans watching closely will notice something familiar: our official World Chase Tag® Quad™ is one of the challenges used to push contestants to their limits.
