The second season of HBO Sports and NFL Films’ Hard Knocks In Season spotlighting the Arizona Cardinals will premiere on November 9, 2022. New episodes will air on Wednesdays on HBO and will stream on HBO Max.
Season one of the special in-season edition of Hard Knocks followed the Indianapolis Colts, marking the first time the Colts had ever appeared on the HBO series. The Cardinals are also newcomers to the world of Hard Knocks, with Hard Knocks in Season marking their debut.
“Last season Hard Knocks made an unprecedented leap, documenting an NFL regular season in real time for the first time ever with the Indianapolis Colts,” stated Keith Cossrow, NFL Films Vice President and Senior Coordinating Producer. “It was a vivid and illuminating look at the life of an NFL team. This season, we are eager to build on that success and go even further with one of the most exciting teams in the NFL. We can’t wait to get to work in Arizona, and we thank Michael Bidwill, Steve Keim, Coach Kingsbury and the entire Cardinals organization for this opportunity.”
“We’re excited to feature the Arizona Cardinals on Hard Knocks during the NFL regular season in the upcoming installment of Hard Knocks In Season,” said Nancy Abraham and Lisa Heller, Co-Heads Of HBO Documentary & Family Programming. “We couldn’t be happier to continue to expand our tremendously successful partnership with the NFL and grow the Hard Knocks experience for our viewers. We’re thrilled that the Cardinals will be joining the roster of teams that have graciously invited our audiences into their world.”
The 18-time Emmy Award-winning series premiered in 2001, with the first season featuring the Baltimore Ravens. The 2022 season features the Detroit Lions.
HBO released the following description of the upcoming season:
“This in-season edition of Hard Knocks will join the Cardinals after the completion of their ninth regular season game (vs. Seattle) with new episodes airing each Wednesday with the exception of December 7, after the team’s week 13 bye. NFL FILMS cameras will be embedded with the franchise through the end of the regular season and hopeful playoff run all the way to the Super Bowl.”
