Amazon Prime Video are among the streaming platforms in discussions to purchase the Liverpool documentary series which captured Jurgen Klopp’s final season as the club’s manager.
The eight-part series was filmed during the 2023-24 season and charts the final months of Klopp’s time at the helm as Liverpool chased a quadruple of trophies but had to settle for a Carabao Cup victory and a third-place finish in the Premier League.
Filming for the documentary, which was produced by Lorton Entertainment, commenced last December. Disney+, home to the hit series ‘Welcome to Wrexham’, were among the early frontrunners after the news of the documentary broke in January.
Klopp had previously raised concerns over access all areas type documentaries and said he would leave the club should owners Fenway Sports Group ever commission one.
However, with it being his last campaign as Liverpool manager, Klopp had a change of heart and gave the go ahead for filming to take place.
Internally the project was driven by Drew Crisp, Liverpool’s senior vice-president, who consulted with Liverpool’s CEO Billy Hogan before the idea was run past Klopp.
The series will offer fans a glimpse into the dressing room, with the Carabao Cup celebrations at the forefront of such footage. Episodes will largely focus on the day-to-day culture and community of the club as well as its fanbase.
The documentary, which had initially been planned for release this month, was expected to generate an eight-figure sum. With discussions still ongoing among various parties it is unknown how much it will now be sold for.
It was revealed on Monday at Amazon Prime’s showcase event (which previewed upcoming live sport and sports documentaries for the remainder of the year and 2025) that the platform will be home to a documentary about former Liverpool player and manager Sir Kenny Dalglish next year.
The documentary is being directed by award-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia who is a lifelong Liverpool fan. Kapadia is the director behind critically acclaimed documentaries such as Senna, Amy and Diego Maradona.
