Article Summary

  • Apple TV+ unveils new trailer for The Dynasty: New England Patriots, premiering 2/16.
  • Series hints at Belichick-Brady conflict and internal team dynamics.
  • In-depth interviews, including Brady and Belichick, reveal Patriots' saga.
  • Directed by Emmy-winner Matthew Hamachek, based on Jeff Benedict's book.

The upcoming docuseries The Dynasty: New England Patriots from Apple TV+ comes at an interesting time in the history of that storied franchise.  With coach Bill Belichick's precarious future at the Patriots a near-daily subject of sports talk media, it's probably no coincidence that this trailer shows Belichick looking extremely uncomfortable while the scene is set for Belichick vs Tom Brady conflict, as owner Robert Kraft intones, "I was just trying to hold it together the best I could."

All of that gives The Dynasty: New England Patriots the makings of the most anticipated sports docuseries since The Last Dance hit in 2020. The highly anticipated 10-part docuseries explores the rise of the New England Patriots during the formidable reign of their star quarterback Tom Brady, coach Bill Belichick, and owner Robert Kraft. The premiere is set for Friday, February 16, and if the trailer is any indicator, it promises to deliver more than a little controversy amidst chronicling the franchise's triumphs.

The trailer teases an in-depth look into the inner workings and relationships that built, sustained, and sometimes strained the empire of the Patriots. With candid interviews featuring pillars of the organization like Brady, Belichick, and Kraft, as well as insights from a number of players, including Adam Vinatieri, Drew Bledsoe, and Rob Gronkowski, the series goes beyond the locker room to include contributions from figures like league officials, acclaimed sports journalists, and even the team's high-profile aficionados promise to round out this rich narrative. Names like Roger Goodell, Al Michaels, Howard Bryant, and Jon Bon Jovi pop up, ensuring that the series will approach the Patriots' story from multiple angles, offering a comprehensive portrayal of a team that has both borne scrutiny and been widely celebrated.

Under the direction of Emmy Award-winner Matthew Hamachek, known for his work on the two-part 2021 documentary Tiger and inspired by Jeff Benedict's New York Times bestselling book, the series builds on a foundation of extensive research. It's this groundwork that paves the way for what the trailer promises to be a compelling exposé on both the public triumphs and the private struggles of the team.  While documentary series in sports sometimes lean toward glorification, what the trailer of The Dynasty: New England Patriots put forth is more nuanced — the up-close personal accounts of triumphs undoubtedly, but also some more unvarnished reality. From Spygate to Deflategate and the personal trials of notable players, the series doesn't shy away from the tumultuous aspects that make the Patriots' story resonate.
