Manchester City has made a groundbreaking deal with Netflix, agreeing on a seven-figure sum for a six-part series documenting their historic Treble-winning campaign. The series is scheduled to be released early next month, with a trailer expected to be unveiled this week.
During their Treble campaign, City’s camera crew had unprecedented access to the inner workings of the first team, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at their journey to success. Now, Netflix has acquired the rights to this exclusive footage, hoping to replicate the success of their previous sports documentaries.
Sunderland ‘Til I Die, Netflix’s first football team documentary, was a massive hit as it showcased the behind-the-scenes drama of the team’s struggles in the Premier League. With the success of previous sports documentaries like F1’s Drive to Survive, Netflix is looking to capitalize on City’s latest offering.
City previously featured in Amazon’s documentary “All or Nothing” during the 2017/2018 season, which highlighted their record-breaking Premier League campaign. As the first Premier League side to be featured on Netflix, City is aiming to expand their global reach and surpass the success of their previous documentary.
On the pitch, Guardiola’s men are gearing up for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, holding a 3-1 advantage over Copenhagen. They are also in contention for the Premier League title, sitting just one point behind Liverpool. Additionally, City is progressing in the FA Cup, making them strong contenders for multiple trophies this season.
