ESPN, Disney+, and Skydance Sports just announced an ESPN Original 6-episode DocuSeries on the Kansas City Chiefs that will premiere later this year on ESPN and Disney+. The series will explore the franchise’s place in the NFL’s landscape for more than six decades of history while offering an exclusive, revealing chronicle of the team’s extraordinary 2024 season.
That extraordinary season ended with a 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59.
Kristen Lappas of Words + Pictures will direct the docuseries (“Giannis: The Marvelous Journey,” “Full Court Press, ““Dream On”), which will be produced by much of the team behind “The Last Dance” (including executive producers Connor Schell, Jason Hehir, Libby Geist, and Aaron Cohen and showrunner Matt Maxson).
“ESPN and Disney+ know that sports fans are interested in stories that take them beyond the X’s and O’s, and this series will explore the legacy of the Chiefs franchise while also showcasing the emotional highs and lows of building a championship-winning team,” said Burke Magnus, president of content, ESPN. “From the brilliance of Patrick Mahomes to the leadership of Andy Reid and the passion of Chiefs Kingdom, this project will showcase the drama, intensity, and heart that make this team a global phenomenon.”
The original documentary series – which was filmed throughout the 2024 season and includes unprecedented access into the players’ lives on and off the field – details the Chiefs’ journey as the club completed a franchise-record 15-win regular season, captured a third-consecutive Lamar Hunt Trophy as AFC champions, and made a third-straight Super Bowl appearance in New Orleans.
Since Andy Reid arrived in Kansas City (2013), the team made the playoffs every year (2015-24), won the AFC West Division title nine years running (2016-24), appeared in the AFC Championship Game seven years in a row (2018-24), and ultimately made five Super Bowl appearances over the past six years, raising the Vince Lombardi Trophy three times.
The Eagles cost the Chiefs and NBA legend Pat Riley millions when they ruined a 'Three Peat' attempt with their Super Bowl win.
