CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WNCN) – Exciting news for North Carolina Tar Heels fans who are eager to get a behind-the-scenes look at their football team.
In a video posted through the team’s social media accounts on Sunday, head coach Bill Belichick officially informed his players that a documentary series highlighting the UNC football program is set to premiere this fall.
“This is about the UNC football program,” Belichick said in the video. “There’s obviously a lot of interest in it.”
“It’s going to feature the players working hard, which you guys do. It’s about the players improving and getting better through their hard work, which you do,” he added. “And a program starting from where it started from seven months ago to wherever it’s going to go through the course of the season, which, of course, will be determined on the field. It’ll show our commitment to winning, it’ll show our commitment to the team, and that’s our priority.”
The docuseries will stream on Disney-owned Hulu and is being produced by EverWonder Studio.
No other information has been released by the athletics department or the university at this time.
This comes after speculation over the summer that Belichick’s program would be the focus of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” series, but discussions ultimately fell through between both parties.
The 73-year-old coach is joining the college ranks for the first time in his career after winning six Super Bowl titles as the New England Patriots head coach.
The Tar Heels’ opener is a Monday night clash with TCU, as Belichick starts his tenure under the Kenan Stadium lights in Chapel Hill on Labor Day.
