Prime Video has commissioned a new sports doc about Birmingham City FC’s promotion season exec produced by Steven Knight, conceived by Birmingham City shareholder Tom Brady and produced by Whisper and Religion of Sports.
The behind-the-scenes documentary will launch on Prime Video worldwide in Summer 2025.
Embedded camera crews have followed the First-Team players, coaching staff and key ownership figures from pre-season to promotion, including Birmingham City’s Chairman Tom Wagner, Co-Founder and Co-Managing Member of Knighthead Capital Management, LLC, and American football legend, Tom Brady, as the club fights to instil a winning culture and climb the English football pyramid. Beyond the day-to-day football operations, the documentary will also explore the cultural heritage of Birmingham City and a supporter base who have remained loyal despite a sustained period without success or silverware.
The journey of Birmingham City will be executive produced by Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders and a lifelong Blues fan. Matt Alvarez (Straight Outta Compton, Are We There Yet?, Straight Outta LA, the Friday franchise) of Knighthead and Board member of the Club will serve as an executive producer. The documentary will be produced by Religion of Sports (Rodgers: Enigma, In the Arena: Serena Williams, Kobe Bryant’s Muse) and Whisper (Sven, Ben Stokes: Phoenix from the Ashes). The project was conceived by Tom Brady and Religion of Sports co-founder, Gotham Chopra, following Brady joining as minority owner of Birmingham City in 2023.
The series will be co-directed by Chopra and Claudia Corbisiero (Sven).
