ESPN has released the first look at a 10-part documentary on the Chicago Bulls.
Originally set for release in 2019, the mini docu-series is titled, ‘The Last Dance,’ and the project will contain interviews with the team’s biggest players. However, it will also feature conversations with former President Barack Obama, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Justin Timberlake, Bob Costas, Patrick Ewing, and Roy Williams and more.
Speaking with NBC, Michael Jordan revealed he’s “still nervous” about how the series will be received.
“I didn’t want to do it, in all honesty,” he said. “I felt like it was raw enough that people would not really understand the mentality that it takes to be a winner, to be a leader. … It’s going to be interesting to see how people interpreted the whole thing. That’s going to be the most intriguing aspect of the whole thing.”
‘The Last Dance’ is a joint production project with Netflix, ABC, and ESPN. It will arrive on ABC and ESPN in June 2020, and be made available on the streaming giant at a later date in 2020, an ESPN spokesperson revealed to Fox Business.
The docu-series will feature over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage from the 1997-1998 season, where the team won its franchise its historic sixth championship in just eight years.
