New Zealand's newest professional football club will be the focus of a major television series this summer. Forever Auckland FC, an eight-part documentary, will chart the team's first season in Australia's A-League and premieres on 27 August.
The programme is executive produced by Dame Julie Christie, one of New Zealand's leading television figures. Described as a blend of optimism and realism, the series has drawn comparisons with Ted Lasso for its mix of humour, character-driven stories and candid behind-the-scenes moments. All episodes will be available on Sky Open, Sky Go, Neon and Sky Sport Now.
