The golf documentary series Full Swing and the tennis docuseries Break Point have been renewed by Netflix. The streaming service says filming is now underway on both docuseries’ second seasons.
I watched a golf series and I enjoyed it…is something I never in a million years thought I’d write. Apparently, I’m not the only person entertained by watching Netflix’s newest sports documentary series. Season one of Full Swing debuted on February 15, 2023, and earned a spot on Netflix’s weekly global Top 10 English TV list.
“These shows quickly appealed to core fans of golf and tennis, and also recruited brand new fans from all around the world,” stated Brandon Riegg, Vice President, Unscripted and Documentary Series, Netflix. “Like so much of our growing sports slate, the compelling characters, competitive stakes, and vibrant storytelling reveal sides of the game you’ve never seen before, and we’re excited to follow the unpredictable turns of the year ahead.”
Break Point released its first five episodes on January 13, 2023. The second half of the season will premiere this June.
