Netflix drops first look at ‘Any Given Saturday’ series chronicling SEC football
Netflix has delved into the world of college football this summer and specifically the crazy, passionate world of SEC football.
On Monday afternoon, Netflix gave those legions of passionate SEC football fans a peek at its upcoming series on the powerhouse conference that has produced legendary players and championship teams for many decades. The 1-minute, 53-second trailer for the series titled Any Given Saturday is full of fire, just like SEC football. The series premieres on Aug. 5, so fans won’t have to wait too much longer before they see the real thing for themselves.
For now, they’ll have to feast on the trailer that gives an inside look at what it means to be part of the SEC football way of life. Included in the intense trailer is a quote that should sit well with those who live and die with SEC football: “If you play in this league, you will walk into the fire.”
It’s not clear who said that in the trailer, but the point is that it perfectly captures the essence of SEC football. The series also attempts to bring out the “unparalleled pressure, commitment and raw emotion” that a player has to have and deal with if he’s going to survive in the rugged SEC.
Here is the full Netflix trailer:
