The Premier League has reportedly turned down an offer to create a Drive to Survive-style Netflix documentary series.
Talks had taken place between Box To Box Films and the Premier League for a potential behind-the-scenes series on England’s top-flight division. According to The Athletic, the negotiations between the two parties have failed to come to fruition and no such series will be made.
The docu-series would have closely resembled Netflix’s hit show Formula 1: Drive to Survive, which delves into the on and off the track lives of the drivers involved in the sport. Similarly, this docu-series would have focused on the workings of the Premier League, including interviews with players and senior officials. The Times reports that the deal would have been worth £5 million-a-season for Premier League clubs.
