Netflix have released an eight-part documentary series following the demise of Sunderland as they plummeted into League One – and now they are set to release a second season this spring.
'Sunderland Till I Die' follows not only the on goings inside the club, but the spirit of a loyal fanbase who had to endure their two worst seasons in history one after another.
What is 'Sunderland Til I Die'?
'Sunderland Til I Die' is a Netflix-commissioned documentary released on December 14, 2018 following the fall of Sunderland in the 2017-18 season that culminated in their relegation to League One.
Following nine seasons in the Premier League, Sunderland suffered their worst season under new manager David Moyes and finished the campaign bottom of the table with just 24 points. Things got even worse in the Championship, however, following the transfer of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to Everton and Chris Coleman's woeful reign as manager that ended as the club were relegated to League One the next season.
The mini-series was produced by a group of filmmaking Sunderland fans who have been involved in multiple big sports film projects such as 'I Am Bolt' and 'Class of '92'.
It follows a set of fans who almost feel as if they are grieving as something they love so much is stripped away from them.
The documentary isn't all doom and gloom for any Sunderland supporter watching, however. Following the fanbase's emotions throughout the season instils a sense of pride from locals, and the series ends with an appearance from club owner Stewart Donald promising a brighter future at the Stadium of Light.
