Bill Belichick UNC Series Heading to Hulu After ‘Hard Knocks’ Breakdown

Chapel Bill is back on. 

A docuseries featuring Bill Belichick and North Carolina football is slated to be released on Disney’s Hulu streaming service, multiple sources told Front Office Sports.

The series will be produced by EverWonder Studio. EverWonder declined to comment; representatives for Disney and UNC did not respond to a request for comment. (RedBird IMI is the primary investor in both EverWonder and Front Office Sports.)

Sources say the two sides are finalizing the agreement, and early-stage production on the show has begun.

Belichick and UNC were previously slated to be featured on HBO’s Hard Knocks: Offseason, but the project fell through at the eleventh hour—reportedly, in part, due to creative differences involving Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. 

It is not yet known what the new documentary will be called. A firm controlled by Hudson registered trademarks for phrases including “Chapel Bill (Bill’s Version),” “Do Your Job: (Bill’s Version),” and “No Days Off (Bill’s Version).”

After a media firestorm was ignited when Hudson interrupted a CBS interview Belichick was doing to support his book The Art of Winning, North Carolina hired former Bears PR man Brandon Faber. 

Belichick is an eight-time Super Bowl champion—six as head coach of the Patriots, and two as defensive coordinator with the Giants—and is widely regarded as one of the greatest football coaches of all time. Football fans will likely be eager to see how much success he is able to achieve at the collegiate level. 

North Carolina’s football games will primarily air on ESPN platforms, which have exclusive rights to the ACC. ESPN and Hulu are both owned by Disney.
