The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the most successful NFL teams in recent times, and their record of making back-to-back playoffs is nothing short of spectacular. Sadly, they didn’t make it to the victory during their last playoff appearance; however, they are still set to make another “last dance” moment.
Recent reports suggest that ESPN and Disney+ are collaborating on a six-episode docuseries about the Kansas City Chiefs. This series will explore the Chiefs’ illustrious 65-year history while offering an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at their remarkable 2024 season.
If the Chiefs won Super Bowl 59 against the Eagles, the story of the docuseries would be amazing, but even with their ugly loss, the series is still happening. Directed by Kristen Lappas and produced by the team behind “The Last Dance,” this docuseries will show the Chiefs’ rise as a modern dynasty.
It will have full access to players, coaches, and executives. The same team that made “The Last Dance” is working on this, with Words + Pictures and Patrick Mahomes’ 2PM Productions involved.

The series will focus on their amazing 2024 season, which included a record 15-win regular season and their third straight Super Bowl appearance. It will also cover the Chiefs’ history, from their early days in Dallas to their move to Kansas City, and honor the legacy of founder Lamar Hunt.
With rare footage and access to key people, the series will give fans a close look at one of the NFL’s most exciting teams.
Will the Chiefs’ 40-22 Loss to the Eagles Be Included in the ESPN Docuseries?
ESPN’s press release focuses on “the brilliance of Patrick Mahomes, the leadership of Andy Reid, and the passion of Chiefs Kingdom.” It feels more like an ad for the season. So, the loss? It barely gets a mention. The heartbreak? Completely overlooked.
That final score in New Orleans, a reminder of their shattered dreams, didn’t quite fit the shining narrative ESPN wanted to craft. Instead of diving into the raw emotion and struggle of that loss, it was tucked away, as if it didn’t happen at all.
The Chiefs docuseries seems more focused on the highs—the victories, the triumphs, and the glory—rather than acknowledging the painful defeat that came with it. The tough moments were left in the shadows, not allowed to cloud the perfect image of success they wanted to showcase.
