ESPN announced on Monday that its six-episode Original Series, "The Kingdom," will debut on August 14 and will be available on ESPN, ESPN+, and Disney+. This will provide fans with a deep look into the franchise's history while chronicling the 2024 NFL season and the Chiefs' pursuit of NFL history.
"The six-episode docuseries on the Kansas City Chiefs will explore the franchise’s indelible and distinctive place in the NFL’s landscape for more than six decades of history while offering an exclusive, revealing chronicle of the team’s extraordinary 2024 season," ESPN said in a press release.
“The Chiefs’ modern-day dynasty has been one of the most incredible stories in sports over the last several years,” Kristen Lappas director said. “Getting the chance to embed with the team last season while exploring the entire history of the franchise – a saga of euphoric highs and devastating lows – was a tremendous opportunity. Ultimately, the real magic and heart of the series comes from the players, coaches, and executives who trusted us; their candor shows fans how the dynasty came to be, and why the Chiefs are such a singular organization.”
And it means a lot to the Chiefs organization as well.
“This series is a tribute to everyone who has helped shape the Kansas City Chiefs over the past six decades — from my father’s vision to the players and coaches who pursue greatness each season,” Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. “We were proud to open our doors to share the full scope of what Chiefs Kingdom means, on the field and beyond. We hope fans walk away with an even deeper appreciation for the people, the passion, and the purpose that drive our organization."
Here is the full list of episodes:
Episode 1: Family Business”Behind Patrick Mahomes, whose journey from son of a baseball player to superstar quarterback is already legendary, the Chiefs – one of the NFL’s most storied franchises – kick off their bid for a third straight Super Bowl title. But a rash of injuries threaten their strong start to the 2024 season and raise serious concerns about the challenging road ahead.”Episode 2: Don’t Judge”Guided by a resolve never to judge anyone else and a firm belief in second chances, legendary Chiefs coach Andy Reid has leaned on family bonds to sustain him through the highs of victory and the lows of unthinkable tragedy. As the 2024 season continues, injuries and new additions engender major question marks.”Episode 3: In Our Chiefs Era “In the most anticipated game of the regular season, the Chiefs square off against AFC rivals Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Meanwhile beyond the field, the team works to maintain focus, a difficult task considering their dominance and global popularity have earned them love and hate in equal measure.”Episode 4: The Formula”An ankle injury to Patrick Mahomes puts more pressure – and the team’s Super Bowl hopes – on the shoulders of Chris Jones and the Chiefs’ defense. A Christmas Day showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers has major postseason implications.”Episode 5: Heartland”With Chiefs Kingdom in full-throated support, Kansas City earns a home playoff win against the Texans. Their reward: an AFC Championship Game rematch with the Buffalo Bills, with a third straight trip to the Super Bowl on the line.”Episode 6: The Pursuit”The Chiefs arrive in New Orleans on the verge of Super Bowl history. Standing in the way of their three-peat hopes are the Philadelphia Eagles, who have no intention of playing supporting characters in a storybook ending.”
