The documentary "The Last Dance" documentary on the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan during the 1990s continued to attract viewers more than any other sports program in the United States.
The movie, which consists of ten episodes, per hour for each episode, lists Balls' path to the title of the 1997-1998 season and the departure of Jordan and coach Phil Jackson.
The ESPN sports television network, which produced the film together with Netflix, announced that the seventh and eighth episodes were watched by more than ten million viewers.
The film was supposed to start showing next June after the championship final is over, but the effect of Corona virus and the cessation of sporting activities has accelerated its release.
The first six episodes won over 35 million viewers.
According to the TV network, the first eight episodes are among the top ten sports TV programs since sports activity stopped in mid-March due to the Corona virus pandemic.
For the fourth week in a row, "The Last Dance" leads all TV programs on social media.
The film ends next week with the ninth and tenth episodes.
The film chronicles Jordan's professional career and its relationship with his former coaches and teammates at Bulls during the period he won six titles.
Jordan, Scottie Pippen and coach Jackson "Bulls" led three consecutive titles from 1991 to 1993, before Jordan announced his sudden retirement in October 1993.
Jordan returned in 1995 to lead Bulls for another three between 1996 and 1998, before leaving the team permanently after Bulls manager Jerry Krause decided not to renew the contracts of Jackson and Pippen and a group of old players.
