Kirk Cousins, Joe Burrow, Jared Goff announced for new season of Netflix's 'Quarterback' series
Netflix's "Quarterback" will return to the streaming platform this year, the company announced Wednesday.
The NFL documentary debuted in 2023 and provided a behind-the-scenes look at three quarterbacks. Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes headlined that season's cast, while Kirk Cousins' injury-shortened season with the Minnesota Vikings was also chronicled. The debut season also followed journeyman quarterback Marcus Mariota's uneven run with the Atlanta Falcons.
Cousins will return for the second season. Newcomers, Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow and Detroit Lions signal-caller Jared Goff, also allowed cameras to follow them on and off the field during the 2024-25 NFL season.
Netflix released a teaser for the upcoming season Wednesday. "Coming to Netflix this July," the streaming service wrote on X.
Another NFL-focused documentary, "Receiver," was released a year after "Quarterback."
It followed the 2023–24 seasons of several wide receivers and one high-profile NFL tight end. The docuseries gave an inside look at Davante Adams' season with the Las Vegas Raiders. The series also followed Minnesota Vikings All-Pro Justin Jefferson and Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
San Francisco 49ers standout Deebo Samuel's season was also documented, while George Kittle represented the tight ends group on the show. Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions, Mahomes' 2PM Productions and NFL Films handled the series' production.
Cousins had a turbulent first season with the Falcons. He threw a career-high 16 interceptions before he was benched in favor of rookie quarterback Michael Penix. Cousins was coming off a season in which he tore his right Achilles tendon during a loss to the Green Bay Packers in October 2023.
Burrow had arguably the best season of his NFL career in 2024 and was named AP Comeback Player of the Year.
He finished the season with a career-high 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns. The Bengals finished with a 9-8 record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.
Goff also had a strong regular season, finishing with 4,629 yards passing, nine yards shy of his career best.
The Lions entered the postseason as the NFC's top seed but were eliminated from contention when they were upset by the Washington Commanders in the divisional round.
The first season of the docuseries featured eight episodes. Netflix did not reveal the episode count for season 2.

Controversial rookie outranks volatile FA as Cowboys most important 2025 addition
Amid the usual roller coaster of a Dallas Cowboys' offseason, which included a splashy receiver acquisition as well as a rare but busy free agency, one of their most meaningful moves this past spring came during the heart of roster building, the 2025 NFL draft. CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin named rookie guard Tyler Booker the Cowboys' best move of the 2025 offseason; it wasn't a flashy headline-grabber but it was a nod to the kind of decision that can help win games in December. George Pickens is a signature Jerry Jones splash, and he may well take the Cowboys' passing attack to new heights opposite CeeDee Lamb. Whereas he's more of a volatile swing, however, Booker feels like the kind of smart but unsexy investment that could really keep Dak Prescott upright. If he holds up as a Day 1 guard, Brian Schottenheimer might have this team back in the playoff mix. Advertisement Booker, the former Alabama standout, isn't the type of player who moves jerseys or headlines. But what he might move, and move well, is the pocket. And for a quarterback like Dak Prescott, returning from a season-ending injury and entering a pivotal year under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, that might be everything. That's the bet Dallas is making: that a dependable, sturdy, NFL-ready guard will solidify an offensive line that continues to add more youth and power on the interior. For all the talk of Prescott's inconsistency, much of it stemmed from protection breakdowns and limited support between the tackles. Booker, a First-Team All-American in 2024, brings polish and physicality that should plug into the Cowboys' line from Day 1. The Cowboys didn't just need a spark; they needed a stabilizer. Booker could be just that. If he helps protect Prescott, opens lanes for a ground game that finished 27th last season, and gives Schottenheimer more time to get creative, it won't matter if he's not the name on the back of every fan's jersey. Advertisement In a year where Dallas is trying to shed disappointment and reclaim relevance in the NFC, sometimes it's not the loudest move that matters most. Sometimes it's the one that gets you through the trenches, literally. Follow Cowboys Wire on Facebook to join in on the conversation with fellow fans!

'The way Ginny & Georgia season 3 explores Marcus's depression is the most accurate depiction on TV right now'
Ginny & Georgia may initially have presented itself as an off-beat, OTT teen drama, but these labels haven't stopped the Netflix series from digging deep into more serious issues. The third season is certainly no exception; the show's latest outing has seen a frank and vital discussion about abortion, as well as a thoughtful exploration about PCOS and periods. However, perhaps the most poignant storyline in the third outing of Ginny & Georgia is Marcus's ongoing battle with depression, and the seismic impact it has on those around him. The series has openly navigated mental health issues before; season two saw Ginny grappling with self-harm, and agreeing to see a counsellor to get help – but Marcus's deep descent into a severe depression this season is particularly powerful. In order to cope with his worsening mental health, Marcus begins to self-medicate and turns to alcohol in an attempt to quieten the loudening voices in his head. Things spiral so badly, the series finale sees him being driven to rehab. It's an incredibly realistic look at depression – and makes it all the more important that we see Marcus (exceptionally portrayed by Felix Mallard) battling through it. We see him drinking excessively, distancing himself from his friends and loved ones, having emotional outbursts and spending increasing amounts of time in his room alone. While there's been a lot of focus in the media about the worsening mental health of young girls and women (and rightly so), boys and men are also experiencing a worrying rise in mental health disorders. Data from NHS England found that 22.3% of boys aged between eight and 16 have a probable mental health disorder. Suicide is also the primary cause of death in men under 50 in the UK. There have also been increasing pushes and more awareness to talk about our mental states, but patriarchal structures have still led many boys and men to shy away from discussing their feelings. A lack of openness may be what is causing some young men to find darker avenues online in order to get some answers or reassurances (and falling foul of the manosphere in the process of doing so). Marcus is a welcome foil to that, with the series showing the truly destructive nature of depression and the impact it can cultivate on our loved ones. The newest season only builds upon previous outings, where we saw Marcus speak openly about his mental state: 'When it hits you fully though, when you're really in it, it's everything. It's who you are, you're nothing else,' he said in season two. 'On the outside, you look the same; smiling and pretending is so much work, but inside, it's a different story. You start to hate yourself. You're so alone, so unbelievably alone.' It's a real and raw observation of an illness, without pandering to its young audience. While the storyline has been praised by fans of the series online, there are still a worrying amount of viewers who are either ignorant or willingly misunderstand what depression is. One TikTok, that has garnered over 22,000 likes, saw the poster ask: 'I'm sorry but I can't be the only one who did not understand why Marcus was depressed in the first place.' Despite huge pushes for there to be greater understanding about mental illness, few people seem to truly grasp that depression is not necessarily circumstantial. Regardless of Marcus's privilege of having a loving family and a roof over his head, depression does not discriminate. You can live a perfect, happy and frankly gilded life, and still feel a shadow darkening over you – for no reason at all. Your guilt for not feeling the way you should, can only emphasise this feeling of depression. Ginny & Georgia also deserves praise on how depression can eat away at those caring for you. We see this through Max, who cares deeply for her twin brother. While she tries to cover her concern with her naturally vivacious personality, and using her own happiness as a way to elevate depressed Marcus, we see her beaten down and exhausted by the end of season three, with some of her core relationships in tatters. While the third season of Ginny & Georgia ends on a hopeful note, with Ginny's poem reassuring Marcus that he's not on his own, it's important that the series emphasises that their relationship is not the most important factor in Marcus's road to recovery – rather, he needs to mend the relationship he has with himself. By showing its young audience the reality of this illness, perhaps we can finally start to truly understand all the different ways depression can appear, and also the way in which it doesn't discriminate.

2-Time Super Bowl Champ Encourages Eagles to Pursue Jaire Alexander
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Who's going to take advantage of the Jaire Alexander sweepstakes? Could it be the Philadelphia Eagles, who are coming off a Super Bowl victory against the Kansas City Chiefs? Former NFL cornerback Bryant McFadden encourages Howie Roseman and his front office to take a long, hard look at the newly-released Green Bay Packers defensive back. "Think about this: when you look at what the Eagles did a year ago, no question, outstanding defensive performances throughout the year. Led to a championship, but they moved on from Big Play Slay," said McFadden. Slay, a critical defensive piece to the Eagles' last two Super Bowl runs, decided that one more year was necessary before calling it a career. While Slay was open to a potential return to Philadelphia, he understood that the Eagles had a bit of a youth movement happening, with the emergence of Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. As a result, Slay took on a one-year deal to join the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency. The Eagles remain confident in their secondary heading into their first season without Slay since 2020, but McFadden believes Alexander would offer a major boost, helping the rich get richer on the defensive side of the ball. "What about the Philadelphia Eagles?"@BMac_SportsTalk thinks the Eagles could be a good landing spot for Jaire Alexander 👀 — NFL on CBS 🏈 (@NFLonCBS) June 9, 2025 "When you look at Quinyon Mitchell, no question he is a guy you want to build around," McFadden added. "Outside of Quinyon Mitchell, Kelee Ringo is slated to be the starting cornerback opposite of Quinyon Mitchell. If you're Howie, and everything checks out in terms of the medical, I got to see what it would take to go get Jaire Alexander because you got to understand something about this secondary; they are going to get every opposing offense's best effort in terms of how well they played a year ago. Adding more experience along with more playmaking ability that Jaire has at his disposal." Jaire Alexander #23 of the Green Bay Packers warms up before the first half against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on December 13, 2020 in Detroit, Michigan. Jaire Alexander #23 of the Green Bay Packers warms up before the first half against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on December 13, 2020 in Detroit, been reported that Alexander's current health isn't a concern, but recent history suggests that will be the biggest red flag as he searches for his next NFL home. Since the 2021 NFL season, Alexander has played in 34 games—with 16 of those games coming during the 2022 season. In seven appearances last year, Alexander collected 16 tackles, seven pass deflections, and two interceptions. The Eagles are in a good place with or without an Alexander acquisition. If they wanted to travel the path of potentially adding him, the former Steelers cornerback believes that the Eagles would be able to make a strong case. "If I'm Howie, I roll the dice because one thing Howie has that the other teams have.. Championships!" McFadden finished. "A recent championship. That can be a great recruiting pitch to get a guy like Jaire Alexander."
