BBC Three Renews West Ham United Series

A second season of the new series about the West Ham United women’s team has been ordered by BBC Three.

Originally titled Britain’s Youngest Football Boss, Squad Goals: West Ham United Women (working title) has been recommissioned from Curious Films. It follows 20-year-old Managing Director Jack Sullivan and the team’s roster of top-tier footballers as they compete in the Women’s Super League. Season two will feature a returning cast of characters, as well as new signings, with the focus shifting more to the players’ lives both on and off the pitch.

Fiona Campbell, BBC Three controller, said: “We’re really happy that we are able to follow West Ham United women for another season and continue tackling the multiple dynamics of a high-performance team. With great access to stories from inspirational young women across the series, it offers the perfect ingredients for what we’re after at BBC Three.”

Dov Freedman, Curious Films executive producer, added: “Since we started this journey with West Ham United women nearly 18 months ago, the interest in the women’s game has just exploded, and we are thrilled that we are continuing to tell their story.”
