Netflix’s hit docuseries ‘Quarterback’ has been renewed for a highly anticipated second season. Executive producer Peyton Manning announced the news on The Pat McAfee Show, expressing his excitement for the upcoming season and his hopes to feature more quarterbacks.
The first season of ‘Quarterback’ followed the journeys of three NFL quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings, and Marcus Mariota, who was then with the Atlanta Falcons. The series provided an intimate look into their lives both on and off the field, showcasing their triumphs, challenges, and personal moments.

He hopes that more quarterbacks will see the value in sharing their stories and experiences for future seasons of ‘Quarterback’.
While Netflix has not officially announced the lineup for the second season, Manning’s comments suggest that the production team is actively searching for new quarterbacks to feature. The success of the first season and the popularity of similar sports docuseries like ‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ and ‘Break Point’ indicate that there is a strong demand for behind-the-scenes looks at athletes’ lives.
‘Quarterback’ offers a unique perspective on the game of football by focusing on the quarterback position. Viewers get an inside look at the preparation, decision-making, and leadership required of these elite athletes. The series also delves into their personal lives, showcasing the challenges they face off the field and the support systems that help them succeed.
Produced by NFL Films, Omaha Productions, and 2PM Productions, ‘Quarterback’ is a collaboration between the NFL and Netflix. It marks Netflix’s first partnership with the NFL and demonstrates the streaming service’s commitment to delivering compelling sports content.
As fans eagerly await the second season of ‘Quarterback’, the show’s renewal is a testament to its success and the growing popularity of sports docuseries. With the potential to feature new quarterbacks and tell fresh stories, the upcoming season promises to be just as captivating as the first.
