Today, Major League Baseball and Netflix announced that the Boston Red Sox will be featured in a docuseries scheduled to debut in 2025. The series will provide insight into the challenges and experiences of a Major League Baseball season.

This docuseries marks the first time Netflix will follow a Major League Baseball team throughout an entire season. Netflix will gain exclusive behind-the-scenes access to players, coaches, and executives, covering the journey from Spring Training through the conclusion of the 2024 season.

The collaborative process began in 2021 as a broader discussion between Netflix, MLB, and the leaders of the Red Sox ownership group. The focus was on exploring opportunities to expand the reach of baseball.

"It wasn't necessarily centered on the Red Sox; rather, it emphasized the importance of bringing baseball to this medium, encompassing docuseries and global platform opportunities," explained Red Sox Chief Marketing Officer Adam Grossman.

In addition to this project, Netflix and Major League Baseball announced that there will be a retrospective docuseries on the unforgettable 2004 Red Sox, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. That docuseries will debut “later in 2024,” according to the press release.

“Baseball is driven by the incredible stories of our athletes,” said Noah Garden, MLB’s Deputy Commissioner of business and media. “Teaming up with Netflix for these two exciting projects is a tremendous opportunity to not only bring our avid fans closer to the game they love, but also introduce new audiences to the undeniable emotion that baseball evokes.”
