Netflix has renewed its two new sports docu-series, Full Swing and Break Point. Filming is underway now to capture the 2023 seasons.
“These shows quickly appealed to core fans of golf and tennis, and also recruited brand new fans from all around the world,” said Brandon Riegg, Vice President, Unscripted and Documentary Series, Netflix. “Like so much of our growing sports slate, the compelling characters, competitive stakes, and vibrant storytelling reveal sides of the game you’ve never seen before, and we’re excited to follow the unpredictable turns of the year ahead.”
Golf series Full Swing premiered on February 15, 2023, and landed on Netflix’s weekly global Top 10 English TV list. The series will continue to be executive produced by Chad Mumm and Mark W. Olsen of Vox Media Studios; and Paul Martin, James Gay-Rees and Warren Smith of Box to Box Films.
Full Swing follows a diverse group of professional golfers on and off the course, across a relentless season of competition. The golfers endure a high-stakes schedule week in and week out, including exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the PGA TOUR.
Part 1 of tennis series Break Point premiered on January 13, 2023, with Part 2 (episodes 6-10) to follow in June of this year. Executive producers Paul Martin and Gay-Rees from Box to Box Films will continue to helm the show.
Break Point follows a select group of top tennis players on and off the court as they compete in the biggest and most grueling events in tennis with hopes of emerging as champion and even bigger dreams of becoming world number one. Break Point follows these top players on the tennis circuit through an entire year traveling across the globe for all four Grand Slams and the ATP tour and Hologic WTA tour.
