ESPN's Chiefs Documentary 'The Kingdom' Previewed in Video with Mahomes, Kelce, Reid
A new documentary centered around one of the greatest NFL dynasties in recent memory is coming this fall.
ESPN announced a new docuseries, “The Kingdom,” on Tuesday. The series, which features star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce and head coach Andy Reid, follows the Chiefs during the course of their storied run over the last few years.
The series “will also weave together tales of the team’s long and celebrated history, its proud culture, as well as the Chiefs’ deeply ingrained place in the Kansas City community and the wider sports landscape,” according to a press release from ESPN.
ESPN released a trailer for the documentary on social media.
According to the press release, the series will consist of six episodes and will give fans a glimpse into the 2024 season and the last decade as a whole. The show also “will spotlight the 65-year history of the Chiefs franchise.” The story will be “told through the lens of current-day players, coaches, and executive leaders.”
“No team in sports has been more captivating over the last decade than the Kansas City Chiefs. To get the chance to go behind-the-scenes of the team’s modern-day dynasty with its signature stars, and weave that story together with the Chiefs’ history and incomparable legacy of Lamar Hunt, whose imprint on the club and the league is still felt every Sunday, is a remarkable opportunity,” said Connor Schell, executive producer and founder of Words + Pictures. “We’re so excited to be working with ESPN, Skydance Sports, 2PM Productions and everyone at the Chiefs organization on this series.”
Since 2015, the Chiefs have been to the playoffs every year and have made five Super Bowl appearances over the last six years, winning three times. In 2024, the team won a franchise-record 15 games, advancing to their third consecutive Super Bowl, where they ultimately fell to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The last decade has seen Mahomes win a pair of MVPs and Kelce emerge as one of the best tight ends of all time. Reid has also established his place as one of the best coaches in NFL history.
With the Chiefs’ recent and ongoing success, plus the franchise’s rich history, the new series should give fans a new perspective on one of the most storied teams in the NFL.
