UNC will officially appear in a Hulu docuseries this fall, capturing the program’s first season under Super Bowl-winning head coach Bill Belichick, and Jordon Hudson appeared to celebrate in an Instagram post Saturday night.
Hudson shared a photo of herself blowing a kiss with no caption other than tagging Hulu, EverWonder and Disney+.
The docuseries announcement — which Front Office Sports initially reported last month — was made in a post on X in the form of a video of Belichick announcing to the team that there would be a “season-long show” that would “showcase our football program.”
“It’s going to feature the players working hard, which you guys do,” Belichick said. “It’s about the players improving and getting better through their hard work, which you do, and the program starting from where it started from seven months ago to wherever it’s going to go through the course of the season, which, of course, will be determined on the field, alright.
“It’ll show our commitment to winning. It’ll show our commitment to the team, and that’s our priority.”
Further details about the show have not been released, and the announcement occurred after it had long been rumored that something of this nature was in the works involving the UNC football.
The program has garnered plenty of attention after the university hired Belichick to be the new head coach last year, along with the increased interest in Belichick’s personal life and his relationship with the 24-year-old Hudson.
Belichick, 73, was hired in January for the job.
UNC begins its football season on Sept. 1 against TCU in a nationally televised game on ESPN.
UNC had been expected to be part of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” before a deal fell through at the final hour due to several reported reasons.
Pro Football Talk reported that NFL owners had put a wrench in the idea over objections to NFL films being part of the project, while The Athletic reported that there had been creative concerns involving Hudson.
