Birmingham City’s promotion to the EFL Sky Bet Championship will be the subject of a new, behind-the-scenes documentary to launch on Prime Video this summer.

Embedded camera crews have followed the players, coaching staff and key ownership figures from pre-season to promotion, including Birmingham City’s Chairman Tom Wagner, Co-Founder and Co-Managing Member of Knighthead Capital Management, and American football legend, Tom Brady, as the club fights to climb the English football pyramid. Beyond the day-to-day football operations, the documentary will also explore the cultural heritage of Birmingham City and a supporter base who have remained loyal despite a sustained period without success or silverware. The documentary will shine a spotlight on this community’s resurgence, illustrating how the football club plans to drive its transformation.

The journey of Birmingham City will be executive produced by Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders and a lifelong Blues fan. Knight will bring his deep connection to the Club and storytelling expertise to the project, ensuring a genuine portrayal of Birmingham City’s transformation. Matt Alvarez (Straight Outta Compton, Are We There Yet?, Straight Outta LA, the Friday franchise) of Knighthead and Board member of the Club will serve as an executive producer. The documentary will be produced by Religion of Sports (Rodgers: Enigma, In the Arena: Serena Williams, Kobe Bryant’s Muse) and Whisper (Sven, Ben Stokes: Phoenix from the Ashes). The project was conceived by Tom Brady and Religion of Sports co-founder, Gotham Chopra, following Brady joining as minority owner of Birmingham City in 2023.

The series will be co-directed by Chopra and Claudia Corbisiero (Sven).
