The groundbreaking project will explore the iconic franchise’s rich history, its ups and downs, and the passionate fanbase that has been with the team through thick and thin.
The documentary, tentatively titled “Heart of Detroit: The Lions’ Story”, will feature never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews with current and former players, coaches, and key figures, and deep dives into the cultural significance of the Lions both on and off the field. The series is expected to explore pivotal moments in the team’s history, including their NFL Championship victories, their Super Bowl dreams, and the highs and lows of being a Lions fan in a city that’s never stopped believing.
“It’s an honor to be able to tell the story of such a historic and resilient franchise,” said Netflix’s Head of Sports Documentaries, Lisa Davis. “The Detroit Lions have been a cornerstone of their community and a team that has inspired loyalty despite the challenges. We’re excited to showcase their incredible journey.”
Fans can expect interviews with former Lions legends like Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, and current players such as Jared Goff, as well as coaches, staff, and even devoted Lions fans who embody the spirit of the team. The documentary will also delve into the role the Lions play in Detroit’s unique identity, from their home games at Ford Field to their impact on the local culture.
