A Facebook account named Timeless Rock Vibes on Tuesday, October 7, claimed that Netflix had greenlit a 15-part docuseries on the life of the late 31-year-old conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Describing him as a “young leader whose message of faith, truth, and American courage changed millions,” the post said the streaming giant was set to bring his story to life on screen. However, the claim is false, with no confirmation from either Netflix or Charlie Kirk’s representatives on the matter as of now.

The aforementioned Facebook post not only claimed that Netflix would be working on a Charlie Kirk documentary but also asserted that Sharon Osbourne had expressed approval for it. It said that Osbourne called the series an opportunity for the world to see the “heart behind the headlines” after pledging $20 million to the Charlie Kirk Memorial Fund. The Sharon Osbourne angle was notably entirely fabricated as well. While Charlie Kirk's documentary is not on Netflix’s elaborate roster of documentaries yet, he did get highlighted in another documentary recently.

Charlie Kirk appeared on the big screen in a newly released documentary delving into the life of another widely discussed figure of the contemporary era. 

In Whose Name? featured Charlie Kirk in a brief cameo

Charlie Kirk made a brief yet noticeable appearance in In Whose Name?, a documentary on Kanye West released in theaters on September 19, 2025. A scene from the film featured him in a 2018 meeting with the rapper and Candace Owens, where they discussed politics, culture, and public perception. Kirk mostly stayed silent in the segment, observing as Owens and West exchanged ideas about the influence of culture on politics. His short cameo drew attention, particularly since it premiered shortly after his untimely passing.

Though his cameo in In Whose Name? is fleeting, it underscores how Charlie Kirk’s influence continues to surface in pop culture. The recent Netflix documentary claims, however, remain unverified, leaving much of the online conversation in the realm of speculation. The alternative on-screen appearance, meanwhile, allows audiences a tangible connection to his public persona. In the absence of a dedicated project so far, therefore, Kirk’s life and ideas continue to inspire debate and interest across media platforms.
