Sunderland ‘Til I Die: The second season is set to hit Netflix within the next two months

The second series of Sunderland ‘Til I Die is coming to the streaming giant in the next two months according to Leo Pearlman of Fulwell 73.

During BBC Radio 4’s The Media Show, Pearlman, who has been key behind the team documentary, revealed that the second season of the series will be kicking-off in Netflix in four to six weeks––making it safe to assume that by March, we’d already have the series back on its feet.

According to Pearlman, the only intention was to tell the story of Sunderland. No hidden monkey business, or real business in fact. Just personalities.

I would argue that in comparison – and with no disrespect to the Manchester City one, or the Formula 1 series that was made – some of them are made for brand promotion and an insider group of fans,” he said.

Others are made to tell a real story. I would say that the Sunderland series was about a city, a place and a time. It’s about people and by taking that approach, we didn’t care if the club had invited us in or not. We didn’t have an agenda and we certainly weren’t trying to promote or sell the club. What we were trying to do is say this is a unique place, the people are unique and are key to this story.

This is what Sunderland ‘Til I Die is all about:

The English city of Sunderland has seen its main industries of shipbuilding and mining fall by the wayside, which means the Sunderland Association Football Club — SAFC — has become an increasingly more important part of the lifeblood of the unique city. The club’s fans are some of the most passionate and loyal in sports, but their passion is tested following SAFC’s relegation. This docuseries follows SAFC and its fans in the club’s first season in the Championship after the relegation. The stakes have never been higher as SAFC is in a downturn”
