Paramount+ set to debut Sydney FC documentary Sky Blue: Inside Sydney FC
• The four-part series is narrated by actor Anthony LaPaglia
Paramount+ will debut its first play into locally produced sporting documentaries on Friday, 30 September, bringing Australian subscribers a four-part exclusive behind-the-scenes look inside football club, Sydney FC.
Produced by Mint Pictures and narrated by Golden Globe winner and Sydney FC fan Anthony LaPaglia, the Paramount+ Original series, Sky Blue: Inside Sydney FC, takes viewers inside Sydney FC men’s and women’s teams during the most transformational year in the club’s history – the club’s 2021/22 A-League campaigns.
Following losses for both teams in the 2021 Grand Final to arch-rivals in Melbourne, the club is out for redemption in their last year in exile, before their move back home to their new state-of-the-art stadium.
Sky Blue: Inside Sydney FC is told through a cast of eclectic characters and those who matter most.
From the players, coaches, backroom staff to the fans, this exclusive on and off the pitch access, is the first time a documentary series has followed both the men’s and the women’s teams over the course of a tumultuous season.
The four-part series will give viewers real-life sporting drama that delivers triumph and disaster, hope and despair, agony, and ecstasy - the perfect binge-worthy football documentary ahead of the return of the Isuzu UTE A-League and Liberty A-League seasons.
Sky Blue: Inside Sydney FC joins a host of the world’s best series currently streaming on Paramount+, including Couples Therapy Australia, The Secrets She Keeps, Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber, The Offer, HALO, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, iCarly, 1883, Secret Headquarters and Five Bedrooms, with The Bridge Australia, and Tulsa King streaming soon.
