PHILADELPHIA,PA: Netflix revealed its latest sports series "Receiver," which will focus on pass catchers during the 2023 NFL season. The show will feature Davante Adams (Las Vegas Raiders), Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings), George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers), Deebo Samuel (San Francisco 49ers), and Amon-Ra St. Brown (Detroit Lions).
"Receiver" is an eight-episode series scheduled to debut in Summer 2024, following the success of Netflix's "Quarterback" series, which ranked in the Netflix Global Top 10 for three weeks last year.
The series is a collaboration between NFL Films, Omaha Productions, and 2PM Productions, with executive producers including Ross Ketover, Pat Kelleher, Keith Cossrow, Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, and Patrick Mahomes.
Gabe Spitzer, vice president of nonfiction sports at Netflix, expressed excitement for the new series, stating, "The natural progression is from a pass to a catch, so we're thrilled to explore the 'Receiver' world after the success of our 'Quarterback' series."
Peyton Manning also shared his enthusiasm for the project, saying, "We look forward to telling the stories of five incredible receivers, each with their unique personality, skillset, and motivation for what drives them to be the best."
