The Premier League will not be starting a 'Drive to Survive' style Netflix show, reports suggest. The popular Formula One documentary over the course of a season helped to transform the popularity of the sport five years ago but no such coverage of England's top flight will take place.
The Telegraph write that the prospect of such a series was discussed at a meeting between all 20 clubs on Thursday. Other issues were also spoken about including major talking points regarding the wider landscape of the game such as governing rules over ownership of clubs.
Within that it has emerged that there will be no Netflix series across the league, with the American film and TV streaming giant pitching the idea in September. The idea is said to have had opposition from the UK's largest Premier League broadcaster Sky Sports, who are owned by US media conglomerate Comcast.
