Three-part series on the 2025 NCAA Champions is directed by acclaimed filmmakers Matthew Hamachek and Erica Sashin
DALLAS, Texas – (June 25, 2025) Today, Apple TV+ announced a new three-part docuseries featuring the legendary University of Connecticut (UConn) women’s basketball team and 2025 NCAA National Champions. Spanning 40 years of the program’s historic dynasty under Hall of Fame head coach Geno Auriemma, the series is directed by Emmy Award winner Matthew Hamachek (“The Dynasty: New England Patriots,” “Tiger”) and Emmy Award nominee Erica Sashin (“Harry & Meghan”). The series is produced for Apple TV+ by Skydance Sports and is in production now.
In 1985, the UConn women’s basketball program had one winning season in its history, but with the arrival of Auriemma as coach and an iconic collection of players, including Rebecca Lobo, Swin Cash, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, Tina Charles, Breanna Stewart, and No. 1 2025 WNBA Draft pick Paige Bueckers, the Huskies became the gold standard for excellence in college basketball. In all, UConn has won 12 national championships, more than any other team ever – men or women – in the history of NCAA Division I basketball.
With a relentless work ethic and drive, Auriemma has mentored multiple generations of superstars, become an unlikely leader in women’s sports and created historic rivalries, with each chapter in his career marked by success, struggle and a passionate pursuit of perfection.
This documentary reveals the epic narrative of UConn’s roller coaster path to becoming the greatest dynasty in women’s sports history, with each episode featuring a blend of unique archival footage, incisive interviews and intimate access with UConn’s 2024-25 championship squad.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Apple TV+ and Skydance Sports on this project that gives a behind-the-scenes look at our National Championship run that has never been seen before,” Auriemma said. “This series offers fans an exclusive view into 40 seasons of UConn women’s basketball, and I’m really excited for audiences to be able to see all the hard work that has built this program.”
The docuseries is produced by Skydance Sports, with Learfield Studios and Brillstein Creative Partners executive producing.
The currently untitled docuseries joins Apple’s expanding offering of non-fiction programming featuring the biggest stories in sports including “Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series,” featuring the revival of MLB’s most iconic playoff rivalry between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers; “Onside: Major League Soccer,” going beyond the pitch with unprecedented access to players, coaches and clubs during the 2024 season; “The Dynasty: New England Patriots,” a documentary event about the New England Patriots, from Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Documentaries; “Messi’s World Cup: The Rise of a Legend,” the first official and definitive account of Messi’s sensational career with the Argentina national team and his five FIFA World Cup appearances, including his 2022 win; and, “Stephen Curry: Underrated,” the remarkable coming-of-age story of one of the most influential, dynamic and unexpected players in the history of basketball, Stephen Curry, among many others.
