An upcoming documentary chronicling the puzzling story of the Bishop Sycamore football team is scheduled to be released in 2023, HBO announced Thursday.
“BS High” will examine the real story behind the fictional Columbus, Ohio-based high school and the scandal that captivated the sports world in the summer of 2021. HBO will produce the aptly-titled documentary, which will also stream on HBO Max, with Academy Award-winning directors Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe at the helm.
The announcement, ironically, falls on the one-year anniversary of Bishop Sycamore’s infamous 58–0 loss to perennial powerhouse IMG Academy on ESPN. After the game, the team fired then-head coach Roy Johnson, who was under investigation for fraud and had an active warrant stemming from a domestic violence case.
