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.

Khalil Mack 'couldn't give up on that dream' of winning with the Chargers
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Khalil Mack mulled retirement early in the offseason. It didn't take long for him to decide to return to the Los Angeles Chargers. He agreed on a contract extension in March, never becoming an unrestricted free agent. 'Got tremendous leadership here, very familiar with guys already here,' he said Wednesday at minicamp. 'It was a no-brainer.' Mack, who turned 34 in February, is in his 12th season in the league and fourth with the Chargers. Despite nine Pro Bowl selections and a Defensive Player of the Year honor, he has never won a playoff game in five appearances. 'You're chasing that feeling of wanting to win,' Mack said. 'I couldn't give up on that dream and that goal for myself and the franchise.' Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter said having Mack return 'means everything.' 'Khalil is one of the best ever to do it,' he said. Mack was at the Chargers facility to train in February and March, setting a tone for his teammates. 'The impact that he had on other people to train at his level is pretty incredible,' Minter said. 'For young guys to have him around, it just makes everybody better.' Around the same time Mack re-signed, the Chargers released defensive end Joey Bosa. He later signed with the Buffalo Bills. 'I texted him the other day saying it was weird not having him in the room breaking the silence with his little awkward jokes,' Mack said. Second-year cornerback Tarheeb Still influenced Mack's decision to stay. 'Just the mindset he has. His is the same approach and mindset when I train,' Mack said. 'I want to be a machine, move people easy.' Will this be Mack's final season? 'I'm trying not to speak too fast or too far in the future,' he said. 'My wife says, 'You keep saying you're going to retire. Why you keep doing that?'' ___ AP NFL:

Kicker Daniel Carlson and punter AJ Cole put best feet forward for Raiders
HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Neither took the easy path to get here. But because Daniel Carlson and AJ Cole persevered, the Las Vegas Raiders have perhaps the best kicker-punter duo in the NFL. Las Vegas showed its appreciation to Cole by signing him late last month to an extension that briefly made him the league's highest-paid punter. Now the question is whether the Raiders will show the same kind of appreciation toward Carlson, who enters the final season of his four-year, $18.4 million deal. 'Going on year eight as a Raider now, that's essentially been my whole career,' Carlson said. "Just honored to be a part of this historic organization and excited about where we're headed this year and the direction we're going as a program. So if (an extension) happens, I'd love that, but I'm focused on the football side.' For kickers with at least 85 attempts over the past three seasons, Carlson was fifth in conversion rate at 89.3%. His 24 made field goals from 50 yards and beyond ranked fourth. He's also having to adjust to new kickoff rules for the second season in a row. The NFL changed its format last year, placing 10 kick coverage players at the opposing 40-yard line. Touchbacks put the ball at the 30. Now touchbacks will begin possession at the 35 to encourage even more kickoff returns. 'It's going to be hard as coaches to say, 'Hey, let's just give them the ball at the 35,'' Raiders special teams coach Tom McMahon said. "I think that's the biggest thing that's going to change with that new touchback rule.' Carlson was effective in limiting the damage last season when he put the ball in play, which he did often with 68% of kickoffs resulting in touchbacks. For those with at least 30 kickoffs last season, Carlson was second in the league in allowing 23 yards per kickoff return, just behind the 22.2 average of Greg Zuerlein of the New York Jets. 'There's almost like some soccer skills that are popping up again, where it's a little more feel, just because it's a very different kick than a field goal,' Carlson said. 'You don't want to necessarily just kick it straight to the returner or anything like that.' As a rookie in 2018 for Minnesota, he missed three field goals — two in overtime — in a 29-29 tie with NFC North rival Green Bay. The Vikings waived him the following day. Carlson caught on with the then-Oakland Raiders — he's one of four players left who played for the team in the Bay Area — and soon began to establish himself as the one of the league's best kickers. He was a second-team AP All-Pro in 2021 and a first-teamer the next season. Cole's path was different, but like Carlson, became one of the top players at his position when the early odds appeared against him. Cole, who also began his NFL career in Oakland, entered minicamp in 2019 hoping just to remain on the roster after those three days. He wound up beating out Johnny Townsend in training camp. 'I showed up to that minicamp and I really just felt like, 'This could be it, and I'm going to go into every single one of these three days and I'm going to get all the juice I can,'' Cole said. "I've been trying to keep that same mentality, and I'm just on absolute borrowed time. I enjoy every single day. I don't think there's anybody that has more fun at work than I do. It's just such a blessing.' Cole has averaged at least 50 yards three of the past four seasons, a feat that only Ryan Stenhouse has matched in league history. He also is third in gross punting average (48.6 yards) and eighth in net average (42.1 yards) since his first season. Such production earned Cole first-team All-Pro in 2021 and 2023. And a contract extension. Cole was rewarded with a four-year, $15.8 million deal on May 26 that included $11 million in guaranteed money. That gave him the distinction of being the NFL's highest-paid punter, but this week was passed by two other players. Not that Cole is complaining. When asked if he planned a major purchase, he said that already had been made before signing the contract. 'All of my plants died, so we just re-landscaped our yard,' Cole said. "So I'm really excited that I get to stay here and watch those plants grow up. I don't know if you guys have bought plants before, but they're really, really expensive. "So that was the big-ticket purchase — a couple of new queen palm trees in the backyard and a couple sweet Bay laurels on the side.' ___

Lights, camera, conflict? Village of Liverpool Mayor wants American High out
LIVERPOOL, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Since 2017, American High has brought a slice of Hollywood to Central New York, transforming a former middle school in the Village of Liverpool into a working film studio that has appeared on mega streaming platforms like Hulu and Netflix. However, the relationship between the studio and the village mayor is nearing a breaking point, as she's asking the production studio to leave. The spark started with her recent letter to in which Village Mayor Stacy Finney stated that the filming has become too disruptive, citing repeated road closures, traffic backups, noise complaints, and what she describes as a lack of cooperation from the studio over the years. Jeremy Garelick, CEO & Founder of American High, responded to the Village of Liverpool Mayor dispute, reminding Central New Yorkers that 'No one is working in our business, yet we're thriving here in Liverpool, how are we doing that?' The founder and CEO of American High admitted that the production company has had some stumbles, especially in the beginning. 'I've never bought a building that was a 100 years old to fix it up. I've never done it so we're making mistakes and along the way we've screwed up a couple of times,' Garelick said. But Mayor Finney wasn't satisfied with that explanation. In her public letter, she said American High has repeatedly disrupted village life, yet Garelick insisted the studio is trying to be a good neighbor to the CNY community, bringing the 'life' back to Liverpool by putting the local gem back on the map. 'We don't shoot on weekends, and we don't have the generator going on weekends,' he said. 'It was the weekend the Canadian wildfires were going off—so maybe that was what was causing her to hack up a lung.' American High says it's created hundreds of jobs in Central New York, brought in millions of dollars in production spending, and given young local talent a foot in the door of the entertainment industry. In response to the mayor's public letter, Garelick plans to run for Village Mayor and is hosting and inviting Mayor Finney to a 'Q-and-A' at the former middle school on Monday, June 16 at 6:00 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
