Netflix is doubling down on football with another season of Quarterback, the streaming service's popular docuseries that takes viewers deep into the lives and plays of the NFL's top quarterbacks. Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow, along with Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions and Kirk Cousins from the Atlanta Falcons, are set to be the focus for the upcoming season, as reported by FOX19. Fans of the series, which began with a deep dive into the 2023 season, can expect to catch the new season in July.
The second season promises to deliver a look behind-the-scenes with footage capturing some of the 2024-25 season's most pivotal moments, highlighting Burrow's record-breaking year leading the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns, which landed him the AP's Comeback Player of the Year award, according to a statement obtained by NFL.com. Loyal viewers of the series will also have a front-row seat to Jared Goff's narrative that reveals Detroit's ascent and abrupt descent during the playoffs.
The series is produced with NFL Films and Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions. Manning, a retired NFL quarterback, has a hand in bringing these deeply personal and professional stories to the screen. The success of sports docuseries on Netflix has been firmly established, with hits like Formula 1: Drive to Survive and Full Swing, according to Bengals.com. This continued venture into the lives of athletes has proven fruitful for the streaming service, with an audience eager for the type of access these shows provide.
This isn't Burrow's first TV rodeo; he and the Bengals graced the small screen in HBO's Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North this past season. Goff and Cousins' participation brings new perspectives to the series. Kirk Cousins will share his challenges in Atlanta, including being banned to make way for rookie Michael Penix Jr., a detail shared by NFL.com. With strategic mic'd-up moments and interviews, Quarterback aims to keep delivering an intimate view of the professional and personal lives of the players who carry their teams on Sundays.
