Premiership Rugby Chief Executive Officer Simon Massie-Taylor said: "Rugby is a unique and hugely entertaining sport.

“And the Gallagher Premiership is one of closest and hard-fought competitions in the game - full of history, intense rivalries and characters.

“We are thrilled to work with Prime Video and Fulwell 73 to tell the story of last season, which we hope existing rugby fans and new audiences will equally enjoy watching.

“Right to the very end, there was jeopardy and drama throughout last season and this documentary goes right to the very heart of English rugby.

“Off the pitch we are looking forward to telling the backstories to some of sport's greatest characters as we go into their homes and show the human stories of rugby, from players to kitmen, club owners and the league’s rising stars.”
