The project is set to debut in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The docuseries will be executive produced and directed by Greg Whiteley of One Potato Productions (<em>Cheer<\/em>, <em>Last Chance U<\/em>, <em>Wrestlers<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>The second project\u2014coming to Netflix later this year\u2014is an as-yet-untitled documentary looking back at the historic 2004 Red Sox season, which culminated in an iconic comeback and the franchise\u2019s first World Series title in 86 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur fans love that our sports series focus on the drama of sport, and nothing was more dramatic than the 2004 Red Sox season, especially having witnessed their comeback from the bleachers during Game 7 against the Yankees,\u201d said Gabe Spitzer, VP of nonfiction sports for Netflix. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with this iconic franchise to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the greatest sports comeback ever, while also looking forward to the team\u2019s future with inside access to their 2024 campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBaseball is driven by the incredible stories of our athletes,\u201d said Noah Garden, deputy commissioner of business and media for Major League Baseball. \u201cTeaming up with Netflix for these two exciting projects is a tremendous opportunity to not only bring our avid fans closer to the game they love, but also introduce new audiences to the undeniable emotion that baseball evokes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe partnership between MLB, Netflix and the Red Sox will have a significant impact on growing the game of baseball,\u201d said Tom Werner, Red Sox chairman. \u201cThe reach of Netflix is profound and these docuseries are ambitious. One will relive one of the most magical stories that forever changed this franchise, and the other is a truly groundbreaking endeavor that will provide an inside look at the lives and personalities of today\u2019s Red Sox players.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix is prepping two new projects with Major League Baseball (MLB) featuring the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3087,"featured_media":20867,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[9041,9042,9043,269],"class_list":["post-20866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-major-league-baseball","tag-mlb","tag-netflix","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Netflix Greenlights Two MLB Projects - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/netflix-greenlights-two-mlb-projects\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Netflix Greenlights Two MLB Projects - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Netflix is prepping two new projects with Major League Baseball (MLB) featuring the Boston Red Sox.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/netflix-greenlights-two-mlb-projects\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-02-08T15:32:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-02-08T15:32:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Netflix-Logo-124.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/netflix-greenlights-two-mlb-projects\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/netflix-greenlights-two-mlb-projects\/\",\"name\":\"Netflix Greenlights Two MLB Projects - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-02-08T15:32:07+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-02-08T15:32:09+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/netflix-greenlights-two-mlb-projects\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/netflix-greenlights-two-mlb-projects\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/netflix-greenlights-two-mlb-projects\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Netflix Greenlights Two MLB Projects\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\",\"name\":\"Alexa Alfano\",\"description\":\"Alexa Alfano is associate editor at World Screen.
