Amazon has confirmed that its Prime Video service will launch a new behind-the-scenes docu-series featuring the 2018/19 season of the Championship club Leeds United.
Reports emerged in June that the Championship outfit would be starring in a new documentary produced by Yorkshire media company the City Talking. That has now been confirmed, with Eleven Studio also collaborating on the project and Anouk Mertens, Eleven Sports' chief operating officer, serving as executive producer.
The six-part series, Take Us Home: Leeds United, will go live on Prime Video in August and will be narrated by Academy Award winner and avid Leeds fan Russell Crowe as it follows the club's first season under the management of Marcelo Bielsa.
"Take Us Home: Leeds United joins the great collection of live sports and behind-the-scenes docu-series on Prime Video," said Chris Bird, Prime Video's EU head of content. "We saw that All or Nothing: Manchester City was a hit not only with Man City fans, but also football fans across the UK and around the world, so we're excited to give Prime members an exclusive behind-the-scenes look into a fascinating year in Leeds United's history."
Andrea Radrizzani, Leeds owner and chairman of the Eleven Sports Group, added: "Last season, with Marcelo at the helm, we made huge strides in putting Leeds United back on the map and reconnecting the club with our local community and wider fanbase.
"We are delighted to be able to share a unique, behind the scenes perspective on the ups and downs, the emotion and the intimate moments that makes this club so special."
