The Netflix docuseries “Simone Biles Rising” will return in October with “intimate” moments of the gymnast before and during her incredible 2024 Paris Olympic run.
Netflix announced Aug. 21 that the second installment of the series will be released on the platform Oct. 25 with Episodes 3 and 4. The first two episodes premiered on July 17.
The new episodes follow the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history as she qualified for and competed in the Paris Games, where she won three gold medals, a press release announcing the news said.
Biles won gold in the all-around, vault and team events at the Paris Olympics. She also won silver for her floor routine.
Biles promoted Part 2 of her docuseries by spoofing the show “Emily in Paris” in a clip posted on social media.
“And ever since I moved to Paris, my life has been chaotic and dramatic and complicated,” Biles says before sipping a bubbly drink from a glass while sitting at an outdoor table.
The scene then changes to her standing in front of purses and shoes.
“Without basic b—– like me, you wouldn’t be fashionable,” Biles quips.
Cutting to Biles sitting on a couch in front of two plates of crepes, Biles says, “I’m not somebody who can share a crepe. I need the whole crepe.”
The video ends with her taking a bite of food and walking off.
Part 1 of the docuseries covered Biles’ mental health. She has publicly championed the issue since withdrawing from multiple events at the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Games, held in 2021, to care for her mental health.
Biles told NBC in late June that making the U.S. gymnastics team for the Paris Olympics was thanks to prioritizing her mental health.
“Being in a good mental spot, seeing my therapist every Thursday,” she said. “It’s kind of religious for me, so that’s why I’m here today.”
