Filming is underway for a new series about Jurgen Klopp’s final season at Liverpool Football Club.
It’ll be made by Lorton Entertainment, which is behind the Diego Maradona movie; Steven Gerrard film, Make us Dream; and Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story.
“This project will offer supporters an intimate glimpse into one of world football’s greatest institutions, delivering a comprehensive look at the present day and the club’s storied history,” explained Julian Bird, CEO, Lorton Entertainment.
“There’s no better place to film than behind the scenes at a Premier League giant – we know so many companies in our industry are desperate to work with a club of Liverpool’s stature. We’re eager to bring our expertise to the project, and can’t wait to see how this season develops on and off the pitch.”
The documentary will be aired after the end of the 2023/24 season and will look at the club’s history, its supporters and both the men’s and women’s teams.
The team said it would “subtly capture” Klopp and his team throughout his final season, filming in “areas agreed by the manager and players, without encroaching on private spaces.”
“With this being my final season I thought we should provide a rare opportunity for viewers to have more of an inside look at what makes this club so special – its people,” explained Klopp.
“From our fans to our players and those who work so hard behind the scenes, constantly in pursuit of success for Liverpool Football Club. Thanks to this new documentary series viewers will be able to see what I see every day at this great club, and understand those amazing people more.”
Drew Crisp, Senior Vice President of Digital at LFC, added:
“This exciting new multi-episodic documentary will be unique and show the real authentic side of the club. It will not only delve into its rich history and its unrivalled connection with its supporters but will also explore what makes Liverpool Football Club succeed, on and off the pitch. We’re delighted to have the full backing of Jurgen and everyone across the club.
“This will be a football club documentary series like no other.”
