Bill Belichick, UNC docuseries reportedly slated for Hulu after HBO Hard Knocks deal falls through

A docuseries following Bill Belichick's time at the University of North Carolina before his first season coaching the Tar Heels football team is reportedly slated to be released on Hulu. The release date has yet to be revealed, per Front Office Sports. EverWonder Studio is reportedly producing the series. The production company's portfolio includes the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing event, as well as NFL Christmas Day games on Netflix. Belichick and North Carolina were previously slated to be featured on the HBO series Hard Knocks. However, the deal fell apart after Belichick's 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, demanded content approval and partial ownership of the show, per the New York Times. The Times also reported that Hudson had been speaking to EverWonder about producing the series while in talks with HBO. While the title of the show remains unknown, CBS Sports previously reported that Hudson's firm, Trouble Cub Enterprises, has trademarked several titles, including 'Chapel Bill (Bill's Version),' 'Do Your Job: (Bill's Version),' and 'No Days Off (Bill's Version)." The titles are all tied to nods to Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. After grabbing headlines with their 48-year age gap, Hudson made news again in June when she interrupted CBS's interview with Belichick to promote his book, "The Art of Winning." CBS correspondent Tony Dokoupil, who conducted the interview, described Hudson as a 'constant presence." When he asked Belichick how he met Hudson, she interrupted by saying, 'We're not talking about this." Belichick was hired by UNC in December after he failed to land a job in the NFL. Belichick's NFL coaching career was highlighted by his time with the New England Patriots, where he won six Super Bowl titles. He also won two Super Bowls as an assistant with the New York Giants. Belichick is now in charge of the Tar Heels after the program fired Mack Brown from the head coaching job after six years.

Bill Belichick, North Carolina football docuseries coming to Hulu

It appears Bill Belichick's first season with North Carolina football will find its way on TV after all. A docuseries featuring Belichick and the Tar Heels is reportedly coming to Hulu, according to Front Office Sports on Friday, July 18. North Carolina was nearly the team to be featured this offseason on HBO's "Hard Knocks," a show that chronicles one NFL team during training camp each season. The Tar Heels would've been the first college program ever featured on the show, although the plans reportedly fell through just days before the show was set to be announced. REQUIRED READING: Bill Belichick says Jordon Hudson 'doesn't have anything to do' with North Carolina football Multiple reports added Belichick's girlfriend, 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, played an "instrumental role" in HBO moving away from North Carolina for "Hard Knocks," as she requested to be heavily involved in the docuseries. Belichick recently gave his answer on the potential "Hard Knocks" series during a podcast appearance with Ryan Clark on the "Pivot Podcast." 'Hard Knocks is training camp, and we're not training camp. We're just not,' Belichick said. 'That's not what we are. The drama of training camp, who's a cut and all that. Like, we're a season, and they don't want that. Yeah, there are film issues too, but forget about the film issues. Just say you could straighten all those out, Hard Knocks just didn't fit for us.' Belichick, 73, is a six-time Super Bowl champion head coach with the New England Patriots, which he coached from 2000-23. The 2025 season marks his first year coaching in college football, despite being the oldest head coach in Division I FBS. Belichick has been one of the largest subjects of discussion of the college football offseason, from his decision to coach at North Carolina to his relationship with Hudson. A docuseries by Disney-owned Hulu featuring Belichick and the Tar Heels is set to be appointment viewing for numerous college football fans.

BREAKING NEWS Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick set to launch UNC docuseries after Hard Knocks controversy

Bill Belichick is getting his behind-the-scenes docuseries after all - months after Hard Knocks scrapped their plans to film him at North Carolina over concerns about Jordon Hudson. The NFL great, 73, was set to be recorded at work by the iconic Hard Knocks HBO series ahead of his hugely anticipated step into the college game. But that plan was abruptly scrapped, with the New York Times claiming it was down to his 24-year-old girlfriend Hudson's demands about content approval. HBO's loss appears to be Hulu's gain, however. Front Office Sports reported Friday that the streaming giant are now going ahead with plans to release a series about Belichick's time in North Carolina. Further details are scarce for now. A name is not know, nor is a release date but Hulu have been contacted by Daily Mail for further comment. News of the series going ahead will likely be considered a win for Hudson, who faced an extraordinary backlash after CBS aired footage of her interrupting their 'Sunday Morning' interview with Belichick. The legendary New England Patriots coach was asked about how he first met Hudson and looked visibly uncomfortable, before she called out from off-camera to say their relationship was not a talking point. The Times then revealed that Hudson's interference with Hard Knocks producers prompted the producers to scrap the project altogether. 'Days before they were set to announce the series, Ms. Hudson demanded she be granted content approval and partial ownership of the show, according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized by producers to speak to a reporter,' the publication reported. It is not yet known what control and influence, if any, Hudson will have over Hulu's work with the upcoming series. Belichick, an eight-time Super Bowl winner across his iconic NFL career, takes charge of his first college game on September 1 when UNC hosts TCU Horned Frogs in Chapel Hill.

CM Punk Explains Why He's Reluctant To Embrace WWE: Unreal

CM Punk reacts to Netflix's upcoming WWE: Unreal docuseries. Netflix is set to premiere WWE: Unreal on July 29, 2025. The new docuseries will pull back the curtain on WWE, giving fans access to the inner workings of the company. Taking fans from the writer's room to major events like WrestleMania and Royal Rumble, the series aims to reveal how iconic storylines come to life. During an appearance on Unsportsmanlike with Evan Cohen, Chris Canty, and Michelle Smallmon, CM Punk shared his perspective on the show. He acknowledged that he's not the ideal person to promote it, noting how he's always tried to protect the magic of the business. CM Punk has mixed feelings about WWE: Unreal 'I'm probably the wrong guy to put on this show to try and talk it up. It is not that I'm so much against it. It's that my entire existence in my profession, professional wrestling, you're taught and you're brought up, and you're old school, you protect the business. It's always been that way. Since the 1920s or 1930s, everyone knew that wrestling was predetermined. They talk about how they didn't know, and how in the 1980s we just kind of blew it wide open. And now we're exposing the business. If you're living under a rock, you don't know, but most people do know. 'What this show is going to do is just show us backstage in our environment, interacting with each other. That's really for the fans. You see it all the time with football shows like Hard Knocks. That's a big one. You're in the room, you're seeing the special teams, Xs and Os, and the relationships between the coaches and players and families. That's sort of what we're doing. We're following suit in a way. It's just really strange, for me at least, because I've always been taught you protect the business, you don't let the insiders in.'
