Cleveland Browns are going to be a part of a new happening for the first time ever in the NFL.

The HBO original series Hard Knocks will be displaying the entire division of the AFC North in the first ever "Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North", which will be debuting Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and available to stream on Max.

In the new version of the show, the crew will be following the AFC North around during the final six weeks of the NFL season, as well as a playoff run for the division-winner and any AFC North Wild Card teams.

Cleveland Browns were last on the show back in 2018 when Baker Mayfield was in town and he and Nick Chubb were recently drafted. That season, the well-known speech that Jarvis Landry delivered to the wide receiver room may be the most memorable. Landry was a part of the culture change in Cleveland and that instance showed it.

This time around, the show will be following things like Deshaun Watson’s third season in Cleveland, Myles Garrett defending his Defensive Player of the Year award, and the return of Nick Chubb.

The AFC North featured four teams with a winning record last season and that was with the Browns and Cincinnati Bengals both being pretty injured. The expectation is that each team has improved in the offseason in preparation for the next campaign.

“Hard Knocks” is now set to follow the New York Giants during offseason training programs, then switch to the Chicago Bears for training camp and the preseason. Then, it will be the AFC North’s time to shine during the season and playoffs.

"Last season the AFC North became the first division ever to have all four teams finish with a winning record, making it the perfect place to launch this new approach to 'Hard Knocks,'" NFL Films Vice President and Head of Content Keith Cossrow said. "We thank the Bengals, Browns, Ravens, and Steelers for the opportunity to showcase some of the greatest rivalries in football and present the intensity of a playoff chase from all four corners of this incredibly competitive division."

Cleveland hopes to make the playoffs for a second year in a row and if they can do it, fans are going to get a look into it like never before.
