ESPN Films & Netflix to Release Their Doc on Michael Jordan!

Though it was waiting for the perfect time of release it is set to come out much before than anticipated.

The debut of ESPN kick-starting their venture into films have joined hands with Netflix to release their long time documentary on iconic basketball star Michael Jordan as “Last Dance” on April 19th, 2020.

Though it was waiting for the perfect time of release it is set to come out much before than anticipated. The doc has 10 parts and was supposed to be aired on ESPN on May 17th for summer but it will be available on Netflix outside the U.S from April 20.

The initiative was taken as live pro sports are currently off air leaving the channel and other competitors to fill in space. ESPN said that: “As society navigates this time without live sports, viewers are still looking to the sports world to escape and enjoy a collective experience. We’ve heard the calls from fans asking us to move up the release date for this series, and we’re happy to announce that we’ve been able to accelerate the production schedule to do just that.”

Besides, the NBA has canceled all the matches for this season on March 11th after the pandemic outbreak.

So, during this quarantine period, ESPN has associated with Netflix its doc to entertain fans. Apart from “Last Dance” Michael’s 1990’s sudden rise in the basketball field and the success he garnered with Chicago Bulls and fame he gained in the NBA circle will also be portrayed.

The doc is helmed by Jason Hehir and produced by Mike Tollin and the film will have 500 unseen clips of the Chicago Bulls and the final championship 1997-1998 which features Jordan.

The doc will also be produced by Mandalay Sports Media alongside NBA Entertainment and Jump23.
