Celtics owner announces production on ‘behind-the-scenes’ docuseries
Wyc Grousbeck revealed that the series, which will feature an exclusive look into the Celtics' 2023-24 season, has entered production.
Boston sports teams are bringing a little bit of Hollywood to New England.
The Patriots’ “The Dynasty” hit Apple TV+ Friday and the Red Sox announced a “Hard Knocks”-esque docuseries with Netflix on Feb. 7.
Now, it’s time for the Celtics to get some screen time. Celtics majority owner Wyc Grousbeck joined WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” Friday and revealed the team is in production for a multi-part series.
While Grousbeck said it’s modeled after Netflix’s “The Last Dance,” sources close to the production confirmed that the series will offer fans an in-depth history of the organization.
“We’ve signed contracts, the film is being filmed, archives are being gone through, and it’s in process,” Grousbeck said.
The project seems to be well underway, however Grousbeck said that there is nothing to “officially report,” and did not note which production company is behind the series.
According to Grousbeck, the docuseries has been following the 2023-24 Celtics squad throughout their record-breaking season. The announcement comes as Boston posts the best record in the league and a six-game advantage over second-place Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference.
“It’s like behind the scenes,” Grousbeck said. “Win or lose, it’ll be out.”
Heading into the NBA All-Star break, the 43-12 Celtics get a week of rest before facing off against the Bulls on Feb. 22 in Chicago.
