Episode Details

Netflix’s upcoming film The 99’ers brings the legendary 1999 U.S. Women’s World Cup team to life, starring Julia McDermott as Brandi Chastain — the player who scored the winning penalty and ripped off her jersey in one of sports’ most iconic moments. Joining her are Emily Bader as Mia Hamm, Emilia Jones as Julie Foudy, and Zoey Deutch as executive Marla Messing. Chastain herself is deeply involved, mentoring McDermott to capture the mindset of a 30-year-old athlete on the brink of greatness, sharing her mental rituals and passion. Filming is complete, with a rumored 2027 release timed to coincide with the next Women’s World Cup. The cast and crew are aiming for the greatest sports movie ever — and with Chastain’s guidance and the team’s enduring bond (still alive in their active group chat), it’s shaping up to be unforgettable.
