New Orleans, LA – Netflix has debuted a highly anticipated documentary series on the New Orleans Saints, titled “The Saints: A Team of Destiny.” The four-part series, which premiered on February 12, takes viewers on a journey through the team’s rich history, from its humble beginnings to its current status as a beloved and respected franchise in the National Football League (NFL).
The documentary series, produced by NFL Films and directed by acclaimed filmmaker, Ken Rodgers, features exclusive interviews with current and former Saints players, coaches, and executives, as well as archival footage and behind-the-scenes access to the team’s facilities and practices.
“We are thrilled to partner with Netflix to bring the story of the New Orleans Saints to life,” said Saints owner, Gayle Benson. “This documentary series showcases the team’s rich history, our passionate fans, and the resilience of our city. We hope that it will inspire and entertain football fans around the world.”
The documentary series explores the team’s early years, including its founding in 1967 and its struggles to find success on the field. It also delves into the team’s Super Bowl XLIV championship season in 2009, which marked a turning point for the franchise and the city of New Orleans.
One of the most compelling aspects of the documentary series is its exploration of the team’s role in the city’s recovery from Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The team’s return to the Superdome in 2006, after a year of playing on the road, is highlighted as a pivotal moment in the city’s rebirth.
“The Saints are more than just a football team – they are a symbol of hope and resilience for the city of New Orleans,” said Rodgers, the documentary’s director. “We hope that this series will inspire viewers to learn more about the team’s rich history and the city’s incredible story of recovery and rebirth.”
The documentary series features interviews with several notable Saints players, including quarterback Drew Brees, running back Reggie Bush, and defensive back Darren Sharper. It also includes commentary from Saints coach, Sean Payton, and NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell.
“The Saints: A Team of Destiny” is now available to stream on Netflix. The documentary series is a must-watch for football fans and anyone interested in the rich history and culture of the New Orleans Saints.
