The Last Dance was first announced by ESPN in 2018 with an official trailer released on December 24, 2019. After the lack of sports and entertainment with the recent Covid-19 Pandemic, ESPN decided to release the 10-part miniseries focusing on the 1997–98 Chicago Bulls 2 months in advance!
ESPN and ABC have now agreed to air the 10-part miniseries April 19. It will stream on Netflix outside of United States.
“The Last Dance” takes an in-depth look at the the Chicago Bulls’ dynasty through the lens of the final championship season in 1997-98. The Bulls allowed an NBA Entertainment crew to follow them around for that entire season, and some of that never-before-seen footage will be in the documentary.
In addition, ESPN spoke to more than 100 people close to the team and personalities who experienced the run, exploring all angles of the Jordan phenomenon.
