Netflix’s Untold series returns with a new sports documentary, Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly, focusing on Raygun (Rachael Gunn), the Australian breakdancer whose viral 2024 Paris Olympics moment became a meme.

The film examines Gunn’s rise, the backlash she faced, and how social media scrutiny, misinformation, and conspiracy theories shaped the narrative around her Olympic appearance.

Set to premiere on September 1, 2026, the documentary situates Gunn within a broader examination of online discourse, memes, and the transformation from hype to public vilification.

The presentation style mirrors a TV guide, with sections like Now Playing and Up Next, hinting at a structured, episodic viewing experience.

Interviews touch on pop culture topics alongside the Raygun story, including discussions around TV shows and high-profile events that intersect with public perception.

Early reactions to Gunn’s rise are documented, including how outlets and social media users criticized or defended her and responded to her breakthrough.

The trailer captures Gunn reflecting on being a meme and the pressure of public judgment, including her self-described identity as a “dorky white woman” and an academic.

Contextual timing places the content in August 2026, aligning with contemporary entertainment programming and streaming premieres.

Gunn’s viral routine, which referenced kangaroos and her Australian homeland, drew widespread attention and even praise from Adele during a concert.

Gunn describes intense pre-competition fear, including a therapy session where she worried the world would mock her performance.

Before the Olympics, Gunn faced scrutiny over credentials and background, with questions about her eligibility and her husband’s role in her selection.
