Los Angeles: Streaming service Netflix is developing a documentary on Sylvester Stallone, detailing the life and career of the Hollywood action star.

Titled "Sly", the retrospective documentary will be directed by Thom Zimny and release on the platform in November, according to entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter.

"This retrospective documentary offers an intimate look at the Oscar-nominated actor-writer-director-producer, paralleling his inspirational underdog story with the indelible characters he has brought to life," the official description of the documentary read.

Stallone, 76, started his Hollywood career in late 1960s-early 1970s with minor roles before breaking out with 1976's boxing drama "Rocky". Over the years, he established himself as a leading action star with films like "Rambo" franchise, "Cobra", "Tango and Cash", "Cliffhanger", "Demolition Man", and "The Specialist".

He most recently starred in Paramount+ dramedy "Tulsa King" and the family reality show, "The Family Stallone".
