Poster for Netflix’s ‘Receiver’
Netflix is expanding its sports content with the new series Receiver featuring four outstanding wide receivers and one tight end. The series continues the streaming service’s partnership with the NFL and is expected to premiere this summer.
“It’s been said that there’s no more difficult position in the NFL than the quarterback,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “But throwing the pass is only half the story.

While NFL quarterbacks may be more likely to be named Mvp or become household names, the perfect Hail Mary pass is meaningless without someone there to catch it. Those athletes — the precise, pristine pass catchers — take center stage in Receiver, the new eight-episode docuseries that follows five athletes throughout their 2023 season, navigating tremendous pressures both on and off the field. The series comes from NFL Films, Omaha Productions, and 2Pm Productions, the creative team behind last summer’s Quarterback.
“We were thrilled last summer to see audiences all over the world diving into the lives of NFL quarterbacks,” NFL Films supervising producer Joe Zucco tells Netflix. “We believe the extraordinary skills, dedication, and passion of the NFL’s great wide receivers — and one tight end — will make a perfect follow-up.”
“As we did with Quarterback, we look forward to telling the stories of five incredible receivers, each...

Netflix is moving from quarterbacks to wide receivers and tight ends in its latest NFL docuseries.
The streamer has ordered Receiver from the team behind Quarterback – NFL Films, Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions and Patrick Mahomes’ 2Pm Productions.
The series follows stars such as Las Vegas Raider Davante Adams, Minnesota Viking Justin Jefferson, San Francisco 49ers George Kittle and Deebo Samuel and Detroit Lion Amon-ra St. Brown.
It comes after Netflix last year launched Quarterback starring Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, then of the Vikings, and Marcus Mariota, then of the Atlanta Falcons. Manning said Netflix had renewed Quarterback for a second season, but admitted that finding subjects was also tricky, hence the pivot to receivers.
The series follows this group throughout the 2023 season, which saw the 49ers beaten in the Super Bowl by the Chiefs.
The eight-part show will launch in the summer.
It is exec produced...
