If there is one documentary that everyone is talking about right now, it's The Last Dance . Available in Europe on Netflix, the series devoted to the Bulls dynasty by Michael Jordan is a hit. To ride this wave of success, the ESPN channel, which broadcasts the documentary in the United States, announced Thursday that it is starting another documentary series on American football star Tom Brady, six-time winner of the Super Bowl.
Man In the Arena - Tom Brady ("The Man In The Arena") will air in 2021, ESPN said, the announcement comes four days after the tenth and final chapter of The Last Dance , which broke the record for audience of the channel for a documentary, with an average of 5.9 million viewers.
Available in nine episodes, the documentary will tell the twenty seasons spent by Brady in the New England Patriots, with which he won the NFL championship six times in nine finals. The quarterback who now pursues his career, at 42, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will co-produce the documentary directed by Gotham Chopra. "Through the series, we will define the key moments and challenges that were seemingly insurmountable, but thanks to hard work and perseverance, they have become triumphs defining a career, both in victory and defeat", said Brady.
Another documentary on Apple TV +
The latter will also be in the spotlight of another documentary series in seven parts produced by Apple TV + which will broadcast it on its platform from July 10. The Greatness Code will highlight little-known stories and pivotal moments that have defined the careers of great athletes, to better explain why they became the best in their discipline.
