We Are Newcastle United is a four-part docuseries that will give Magpie fans a glimpse behind the scenes at St James' Park.
It was previously rumored the show would be part of Prime Video's Prime's All or Nothing series, which has featured fellow Premier League teams Manchester City and Spurs, and was last on our screens with All or Nothing: Arsenal in recent years, but we now know that it is a standalone documentary.
The newly-rich club, who were subject to a Saudi-led takeover in 2021, had kept the deal with Amazon under wraps, yet the streaming giant and the club confirmed the show was in the works in March of 2023.
The series was produced by Lorton Entertainment and 72 Films, with Clare Cameron and three-time BAFTA winner John Douglas appointed as Executive Producers.
Julian Bird, CEO of Lorton Entertainment, said, "We are thrilled to be working with Newcastle United. With rapid change occurring on and off the pitch, it is a fascinating time to go behind the scenes at the club.
"At Lorton, we have been privileged to work on amazing stories of game-changing sporting icons, from Rooney to Maradona, and our upcoming Becker documentary. We look forward to adding this to our slate."

The Newcastle United manager was pleased to see Amazon's film crew arrive at St James' Park and the club's training ground, yet was keen to protect some aspects of his work away from the cameras...
He said: "Privacy is important; when you’re dealing with players, there are certain things that should never escape the walls of the training ground.
"It’s delicate but I can’t go against the club. I’ll always support them in whatever venture they’re trying to pursue. Just so long as it doesn’t overstep the mark!"
