The Rest is Football‘s daily World Cup Netflix show has revealed the first guests who will join hosts Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards.
Regular guest will be Joe Cole, alongside a lineup of special guests including Harry Maguire, Frank Lampard, Millie Bright, Patrick Vieira, Romesh Ranganathan and Niall Horan, with more to come.
The team will also be joined by roving reporters Rob Jones and Alex Aljoe. Jones will report directly from the England camp and fan zones, while Aljoe will follow teams from across the tournament, bringing fans closer to the biggest stories.
Filmed in Times Square, New York, the show will feature expert match analysis, special guests, exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes access from the world’s biggest sporting event.
Speaking ahead of the show, The Rest Is Football co-host Alan Shearer said: “The World Cup is as big as it gets, and bringing The Rest Is Football to Netflix during the tournament is a brilliant opportunity to get stuck into the football properly. There’ll be huge performances, big decisions, pressure moments and plenty for supporters to debate – exactly what we love talking about.”
The Rest Is Football co-host Micah Richards said: “I’m absolutely buzzing for this. World Cup, Netflix, New York and The Rest Is Football on a massive stage – what more could you want? It’s going to have everything people love about the show: proper analysis, big opinions, dressing-room stories and, knowing us, plenty of laughs as well.”
The series will be produced by Goalhanger (The Rest Is History, The Rest Is Politics)
