Sports fans are desperately excited for the premiere of ESPN's 'The Last Dance' doc
Sports fans everywhere are pumped for the premiere of ESPN’s documentary series The Last Dance about the Chicago Bulls’ dynasty in the 1990s. And in a world without sports while people everywhere are staying at home as much as they can because of the global coronavirus pandemic, we need this.
The 10-part docuseries will premiere Sunday with the first two hour-long episodes airing back-to-back, starting at 9 p.m. ET. Two episodes each Sunday will air through May 17, giving fans a chance to relive history and a taste of sports, which everyone is so desperately craving. (It will also be available on Netflix two episodes at a time at midnight PT the following Mondays.)
The Last Dance was originally scheduled to debut in June, but ESPN announced late last month that it’s bumping that date up. And since then, the network and its personalities have been teasing trailers and extra scenes, as if people need another reason to get excited.
Just recently, ESPN even shared some extended scenes on YouTube, and we cannot wait. Neither can people on the internet, and several fans — from Stephen A. Smith to Russell Wilson to average fans (and even the Chicago White Sox) — shared their unbridled enthusiasm for the doc, which looks incredible.
They tweeted iconic video clips of Michael Jordan, showed off some vintage Bulls swag and shared old photos of their best Jordan impressions. And we’re here for all of it.
