EXCLUSIVE: American rugby union is going under the doc series spotlight. The sport’s North American professional league, Major League Rugby (MLR), has struck a deal with indie film financier and producer Goldfinch to produce an all-access, multi-year series that’s been billed as an “unprecedented ten-year commitment.” This will chronicle the sport’s growth and development in the U.S.
Filming on the first season, Stars, Stripes and Scrums: The American Rugby Journey (working title) is underway and will focus on the Chicago Hounds team, while also exploring the sport at all levels across the States.
All-access sports team docs have been one of the big trends in unscripted over recent years, with international rugby union featured in Netflix’s Six Nations: Full Contact last year and the English league the subject of Prime Video’s Mud, Sweat and Tears: Premiership Rugby in October.
