Following last year’s series chronicling the lives of a chosen group of NFL quarterbacks, this time around NETFLIX is following the “pristine pass catchers.”
On Tuesday, the streamer announced “Receiver,” an eight-episode series, that will follow the Raiders’ wide receiver Davate Adams, Minnesota Vikings’ wide receiver Justin Jefferson, San Francisco 49ers’ tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Deebo Samuel and Detroit Lions’ wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
“We were thrilled last summer to see audiences all over the world diving into the lives of NFL quarterbacks,” NFL Films supervising producer Joe Zucco tells Netflix. “We believe the extraordinary skills, dedication, and passion of the NFL’s great wide receivers — and one tight end — will make a perfect follow-up.”
It’s produced by NFL Films, Omaha Productions and 2PM Productions.
Peyton Manning serves as an executive producer alongside Jamie Horowitz, Ross Ketover, Pat Kelleher, Keith Cossrow, Patrick Mahomes and Jacquelyn Dahl.
“We are excited to be working again with Netflix and NFL Films to give fans unprecedented access to what it’s like to play receiver at the highest level,” said Manning. “As we did with ‘Quarterback,’ we look forward to telling the stories of five incredible receivers, each with their unique personality, skillset, and motivation for what drives them to be the best.”
“Receiver” is set to drop during the Summer of 2024.
