Diana Taurasi’s Rise Captured in Prime Video Docuseries
Enjoying a moment of chill nostalgia? I’m Riley Carter. Okay so, like, Prime Video just dropped a new three-part docuseries that chronicles the unstoppable legacy of Diana Taurasi, and it is low-key a slam dunk. Let’s unpack this without trying too hard.
The series, simply titled Taurasi, becomes available in full on August 7 at 3 a.m. ET exclusively for Amazon Prime members. If you’ve been searching for a front-row seat to witness one of the greatest women’s basketball careers unfold, this is it. Prime Video subscribers can stream all three episodes on any supported device including Fire TV sticks or through the Prime Video app on mobile.
Diana Taurasi, who retired in February 2025, amassed an extraordinary resume: three NCAA championships at UConn under Coach Geno Auriemma, three WNBA titles, a 2009 WNBA MVP award, six Olympic gold medals, and six EuroLeague crowns. The new docuseries features candid interviews with Taurasi herself, her family members, former teammates, and coaches. Among the talking heads are WNBA legend Sue Bird alongside Geno Auriemma, both reflecting on what made Taurasi a generational player on and off the court.
Directed by acclaimed filmmakers (names kept hush for spoiler proof), the doc dives into early influences from her childhood in California, her fierce college years where she led the Huskies to back-to-back titles, and her evolution into a global icon in women’s basketball. Viewers get a closer look at the highs, the injuries, the locker room pep talks, and the behind-the-scenes grit that made her game-changing.
For those not yet signed up for Prime Video, here’s the deal: Amazon offers a 30-day free trial for new members. After that, Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year, unlocking not just streaming perks but free two-day shipping and exclusive discounts on Amazon. Young adults aged 18 to 24 regardless of student status can score a discounted membership at $7.49 monthly after a six-month trial, extending for up to six years.
What makes Taurasi stand out? It isn’t a fluff piece. Reporters and analysts who covered Taurasi through her career lend perspective, and viewers are reminded that her fierce competitiveness reshaped the WNBA’s landscape. There are archival broadcast clips from classic playoff battles and fresh reflections from those who’ve studied her every crossover and three-point bomb.
Even if you’re not a die-hard basketball stan, this docuseries offers a deep dive into the drive, sacrifice, and personality that fueled Taurasi’s ascent. It’s equal parts motivational blueprint and sports history lesson, served with a side of millennial-style detachment. So if you find yourself double-tapping court highlights on social, you might want to swap your feed for a three-hour binge of this powerhouse story.
Anyway, that’s the lay of the land. Do with it what you will. I’ll be over here waiting for my next sports obsession.
