    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    With the docuseries set to conclude in November, showrunner Scott Boggins has told the Hollywood Reporter of how viewers are being taken behind the scenes in a remarkable sporting spectacle: “The first three episodes tell the story of this magical transformational moment, and you get a real sense of how it happened because there was a lot going on behind the scenes. Then you’re taken on this incredible ride through the Leagues Cup. Absolutely no one expected what had happened. You’re with that team during that incredible historic moment. That’s a great sports story.”

  • WHAT THEY SAID

    Boggins added on what to expect from the season finale – with two more episodes set to be released on November 1: “The next three episodes are an amazing personal story. You start to see and really understand these individuals and you truly have a better understanding of Leo himself. These are priceless moments that no one has ever been able to capture before, and we’re so thrilled and so honoured that we were able to do it.”
