Fans react to the sudden announcement of Netflix collaborating with NFL to produce a sports docu-series, Quaterback

“We don’t need to see&#8230;..”- Netflix Leaves Internet Divided as Streaming Giant Makes First Pick for NFL Docuseries Following Super Bowl LVII

While Netflix’s catalog is vast, the streamer was largely lacking in
sports-related content. But with the success of Formula 1: Drive to Survive, the
platform knew the next category they could tap into, to lure in more audience.
The show offered unprecedented access to the racing event. Eventually, the
streaming giant released Break Point for tennis enthusiasts, while Full Swing
chronicled the PGA Tour. Now Netflix has teamed up with the NFL to bring a
special docu-series that will offer a special insight into the industry through
the lens of quarterbacks. 

Netflix and NFL are collaborating to produce Quarterback that will follow
different athletes in each season. For the first season, the show will follow
Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, Minnesota Vikings’ Kirk Cousins, and Atlanta
Falcons’ Marcus Mariota. The show will chart the entirety of the 2022 season as
per the streaming giant’s recent tweet.

Viewers will have a look at Mahomes’ victories, from leading the Chiefs to
winning the Super Bowl in 2022 and taking his second MVP award home. Cousins
experienced both a loss and a win last year. While he won the NFC North
Division, he came back home defeated in the first playoff. Meanwhile, Mariota
scored 5 touchdowns before he was benched and sustained a knee injury.

Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions and Mahome-owned 2PM Productions are also
serving as producers on the show. NFL Films’ Ross Ketoger, Keith Cossrow, and
Pat Kelleher are attached to the project as executive producers along with
Manning. VP of unscripted and documentary series at Netflix, Brandon Rigg
promised fans uninterrupted and unprecedented access to the biggest athletes
that no one ever had before. 

“We aim to give our members unprecedented access to the biggest athletes in the
world, telling stories that you can’t see anywhere else,” he told in a
statement, as reported by Hollywood Reporter.

The streamer has not announced an official date yet, but it is to hit the
platform sometime this summer. Although it is welcoming news to some of the
fans, others were not so interested.

Fans are mostly excited to learn about the collaboration. But there are a few
who have voiced their complete lack of disinterest in watching the show.

Fans have a mixed reaction, to say the least. Many are not-so excited about the
docuseries, even more so since Patrick Mahomes is going to be a part of it. A
user even commented, “We don’t need to see Mahomes’ family anymore than we have
to,” referring to the wide presence the family already shares, given that the
quarterback’s brother, Jackson Mahomes, is an internet celebrity.
