HBO will debut ‘Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Jets’ in high-definition on Wednesday, August 11 at 10:00 PM ET.
Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Jets is a reality sports documentary television series produced by NFL Films, HBO Sports and New York Jets.
HBO presents first sports-based reality series and one of the fastest-turn around reality series kicks off its five-episode sixth season in HD. Other hour-long episodes debut subsequent Wednesdays at the same time, culminating in the Sept. 8 season finale, with regular encore plays on Thursdays.
Ross Greenburg, president, HBO Sports said “We are delighted that Hard Knocks will be returning this summer and placing the spotlight on charismatic Jets head coach Rex Ryan and his engaging team of proven veterans and emerging stars. As always, there will be plenty on the line for veterans, free agents and rookies alike during training camp. After last year’s postseason run, this is certainly a championship-caliber team with big-name talent. Get ready for some of coach Ryan’s ‘blunt force trauma’ behind the scenes with this staff and this talent.”
NFL Films president Steve Sabol said “Hard Knocks has successfully traveled the country over the last several years. There have been shows in Dallas, Baltimore, Kansas City and Cincinnati. Now we’ve got our act together — we’re finally ready to open on Broadway!”
Woody Johnson, New York Jets chairman and CEO said “We are committed to being an organization that is open and accessible. Hard Knocks serves as a tremendous vehicle for fans everywhere to receive unprecedented access and a fascinating behind-the-scenes look as we prepare for the 2010 season. HBO and NFL Films have an award-winning track record and we are excited about working with them.”
The cinema verité series will focus on the daily lives and routines of players and coaches as the dynamic New York Jets, who compete in the ultra-competitive AFC East, prepare for the 2010 NFL season. Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Jets will chronicle second-year head coach Ryan and an intriguing mix of high-profile veterans, free agents and rookie hopefuls throughout training camp and the preseason. Each week, players will experience drills, meetings and fun, while struggling to prove they have what it takes to make the team and make their mark in the NFL.
A 24-person NFL Films crew will live at the Jets’ training camp, shooting more than 1,000 hours of video over the course of the series. Camera and sound crews will be given unencumbered access to the players’ and coaches’ meeting rooms, training rooms, dormitories and practice fields.
