Dark Side of the Ring

Dark Side of the Ring has maintained a steady annual rhythm for five years, typically returning in March. Since its debut on Vice TV, the series has become the network highest-rated program, anchoring their documentary slate with deep dives into professional wrestling history. While 2022 saw a brief hiatus in the main series to focus on spin-off content, the production team has largely adhered to a spring release schedule that capitalizes on the heightened interest in wrestling surrounding major industry events.

The historical broadcast trajectory shows a transition from experimental six-episode runs to full ten-episode orders that dominate the cable landscape every spring. Its ability to generate significant social media engagement has secured its place as a recurring fixture of the Vice lineup. Fans can generally expect new installments to arrive between March and May, as the show remains a reliable cornerstone for the network despite the volatile nature of the television industry.
