Netflix announces college football docuseries — but don’t expect a lot of Georgia screen time

ISTANBUL, TURKEY - MARCH 23: The Netflix App logo is seen on a television screen on March 23, 2018 in Istanbul, Turkey. The Government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan passed a new law on March 22 extending the reach of the country's radio and TV censor to the internet. The new law will allow RTUK, the states media watchdog, to monitor online broadcasts and block content of social media sites and streaming services including Netflix and YouTube. Turkey already bans many websites including Wikipedia, which has been blocked for more than a year. The move came a day after private media company Dogan Media Company announced it would sell to pro-government conglomerate Demiroren Holding AS. The Dogan news group was the only remaining news outlet not to be under government control, the sale, which includes assets in CNN Turk and Hurriyet Newspaper completes the governments control of the Turkish media.

Netflix announced Wednesday that it will be releasing an 8-episode series highlighting the Southeastern Conference’s 2024 football season.

The docuseries is being produced by the same company that produced the wildly popular Formula 1: Drive to Survive series.

“This behind-the-scenes docuseries will bring all the drama and pageantry of Southeastern Conference Football to a worldwide Netflix audience,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey told Netflix.

The Athletic reported that Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt opted to participate in the filming, which indicates that Georgia — along with Ole Miss, Missouri, Alabama, Texas and Oklahoma — will not likely be a primary focus.

“When a majority of the member schools indicated an interest in participating, the SEC proceeded with Netflix on production of the series with the understanding that schools can opt in or out of participation in subsequent years,” SEC spokesman Herb Vincent told The Athletic.

No specific release date was announced, however Netflix indicated it will be out in 2025.
