SALEM, OR — Netflix surprised football fans today by dropping the trailer for Quarterback Season 2, giving us fresh access to one of the most pressure-packed roles in sports-with an extra dose of “battle-tested” seriousness.
Following the success of its first season-where Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota opened up their professional and personal lives to cameras. Netflix returns for Season 2, offering new access to Joe Burrow and Jared Goff alongside Cousins. Cameras will trail these leaders through their 2024-25 campaigns.
Burrow, fresh off a gritty Cincinnati season, tackles the challenge of leading a high-expectation offense. Goff returns to the series as the Lions chase their first Super Bowl title-his storybook season ending in a narrow NFC Championship loss. And Cousins, entering his eighth pro campaign, is starting a new chapter in Atlanta after signing a blockbuster $180 million deal.
The trailer hints at the deep dive fans loved in Season 1: mic'd-up game action, training-ground intensity, family life, injury rehab, and the mental toll this position demands. Expect raw emotion-from pre-snap rituals to post-game breakdowns.
