The six-part series is produced by Leeds United: Take Us Home outfit NEO Studios
Amazon Prime Video is releasing a six-part doc series about Leeds United’s academy, called Academy Dreams: Leeds United, on 23 September.
The fly-on-the-wall series is narrated by Vinnie Jones and produced by ELEVEN Group’s NEO Studios. It was show across a year, during the team’s 2021-22 campaign when Leeds United broke the Premier League record for the highest number of teenage debutants in a single season.
NEO Studios says the doc “gives a fascinating insight into the highs and lows of young players as they make their way in the professional game.”
It includes established academy graduates such as senior England international and local Kalvin Phillips, and breakthrough talents including Joe Gelhardt, Sam Greenwood, and Crysencio Summerville, all of whom signed new contracts with Leeds United earlier this month.
Anouk Mertens, NEO Studios Global CEO, said: “NEO Studios previously shone a light on one of English football’s great institutions in our acclaimed and award-winning documentary Leeds United: Take Us Home. We’re thrilled to return to the club, providing unparalleled access in uncovering the skill, dedication, and occasional luck required for young players to make their mark in an elite team in the world’s most watched football league. We’re delighted to once again be working with Prime Video in the UK and Ireland to bring this series to their audience.”
Angus Kinnear, Leeds United FC CEO, added: “The reaction to Take Us Home was incredibly positive from fans of Leeds United and other clubs, as they were brought closer to the club than ever before through the eyes of the team, coaches, and staff. We’re rightly proud of our academy continuing to provide our first team with players who identify so closely with Leeds United, and we’re delighted to partner with NEO Studios and Prime Video again to now bring their stories to life.”
