Quarterback has been renewed for a second season at Netflix, according to recent comments from executive producer Peyton Manning on The Rich Eisen Show. Manning shared an update on the docuseries, which debuted on July 12. “Season 2 has been greenlit by Netflix, we’re excited,” Manning said. “We’re hoping for more quarterbacks, it’s easier to say yes.”
“I don’t want to hear ‘It’s going to be a distraction’ because that’s not true,” Manning noted, according to Comicbook.com “Patrick Mahomes proved that, Kirk Cousins proved that, Marcus, the way he handled that, proved that. We’re hoping that guys after seeing it say this is going to be a cool thing that I can show to my kids when I’m older, show to my grandkids one day. Hopefully, the pitch will be easier.”

“The series features behind-the-scenes of the biggest moments of the season, as Mahomes set an NFL record for total offense on his way to winning the league and Super Bowl MVP awards; Cousins engineered the greatest comeback in NFL history and led the Minnesota Vikings to an NFC North Division title; and Mariota took over as the starting quarterback with the Atlanta Falcons.”
The eight-episode series marks the first partnership between Netflix and the NFL. It’s produced bt NFL Films, Omaha Productions, and 2PM Productions.
