KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - An ESPN original series on the history of the Kansas City Chiefs and a behind-the-scenes look into their 2024 season is coming to streaming later this year.
ESPN, Disney+ and Skydance Sports announced the development of a six-episode docuseries that will “explore the franchise’s indelible and distinctive place in the NFL’s landscape.” The series will also “chronicle the team’s extraordinary 2024 season.”
Words + Pictures produced it and is working in association with Skydance Sports, NFL Films, 2PM Productions, and Foolish Club Studios. According to ESPN, several of the key producers who worked on “The Last Dance” series on Michael Jordan and the 1990s Chicago Bulls are also producing this venture.
“ESPN and Disney+ know that sports fans are interested in stories that take them beyond the X’s and O’s, and this series will explore the legacy of the Chiefs franchise while also showcasing the emotional highs and lows of building a championship-winning team,” said Burke Magnus, president of content, ESPN. “From the brilliance of Patrick Mahomes to the leadership of Andy Reid and the passion of Chiefs Kingdom, this project will showcase the drama, intensity, and heart that make this team a global phenomenon.”

ESPN said the docuseries was filmed over the course of the 2024 season, which saw the Chiefs go 15-2 and reach the Super Bowl for the third straight season. Kansas City eventually lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59, falling short of an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl.
“No team in sports has been more captivating over the last decade than the Kansas City Chiefs. To get the chance to go behind the scenes of the team’s modern-day dynasty with its signature stars, and weave that story together with the Chiefs’ history and incomparable legacy of Lamar Hunt, whose imprint on the club and the league is still felt every Sunday, is a remarkable opportunity,” said Connor Schell, executive producer and founder of Words + Pictures.
ESPN Press Room said the show will tell the story of the franchise through players, coaches and executive leaders who were followed on and off the field all season long. It will “weave together tales of the team’s long and celebrated history, its proud culture, as well as the Chiefs’ deeply ingrained place in the Kansas City community and the wider sports landscape,” ESPN said.
