NEED TO KNOW

• Bill Belichick announced that his football team will be the subject of a new docuseries
• The first-year college coach shared the news with his team, according to an Instagram post
• The news comes roughly six months after plans for a Hard Knocks project were scrubbed

Bill Belichick and his University of North Carolina football team are getting ready for their close-ups!

The Tar Heels will be the subject of a “season-long” docuseries set to air on Hulu, the first-year college football coach announced to the team on Sunday, Aug. 24.

"This is about the UNC football program,” Belichick, 73, told his players — who play their first game of the season against TCU on Sept. 1 — in a clip posted to Carolina Football’s X account. “There's obviously a lot of interest in it and it'll stream on Hulu later this fall.”

He continued, "It's going to feature the players working hard, which you guys do. It's about the players improving and getting better through their hard work, which you do. And a program starting from where it started from several months ago to wherever it's gonna go during the course of the season, which, of course, will be determined on the field. It'll show our commitment to winning, it'll show our commitment to the team, and that's our priority."

Hulu has not made an announcement about the docuseries, and did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

On Saturday, Aug. 23, one day before UNC’s announcement, Belichick’s girlfriend Jordon Hudson shared a cryptic post alluding to the series on Instagram.

“@everwonder.studio @hulu @disneyplus,” she wrote in her caption, alongside a photo of herself from months ago blowing a kiss to Belichick while along the UNC practice field sidelines.

News of the new docuseries comes nearly six months after Belichick and the team were linked to another high-profile behind-the-scenes show: Hard Knocks.

According to The Athletic, the ACC school and the former NFL coach were to be the subjects of the HBO franchise, but the production was called off at the last minute.

Hudson, 24, “played an instrumental role in stopping the production,” because she requested “to be heavily involved in the project,” the outlet reported, based on numerous anonymous sources who were not authorized to speak publicly. 

The report came days after Hudson interrupted a CBS Sunday Morning interview with Belichick, after reporter Tony Dokoupil asked how the two met.

“We’re not talking about this,” Hudson interjected at the time.
