What’s New On Disney+ | In The Arena: Serena Williams (UK/IE/AU/NZ/CA)
A brand new documentary from ESPN, “In the Arena: Serena Williams”, has been added to Disney+ around the world, including in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. The series was previously released on ESPN+ in the United States.
Following the success of the Emmy-winning, “Man in the Arena: Tom Brady”, Serena’s expansion of the franchise is a multi-part series that provides the most complete, intimate, and compelling account of her legendary career, featuring firsthand perspective from Serena and key figures throughout her life.
Several of Serena’s most significant Grand Slam tournaments and defining personal milestones are examined and decoded in detail. The series juxtaposes Serena’s spectacular on-court achievements and cultural impact with dramatic personal challenges. Through it all, Serena fights to maintain her place atop the tennis world while juggling the transformational experience of starting a family.
Her career comes full circle as she welcomes a new generation of challengers – each inspired by Serena and hungry to follow in her footsteps, and of course, take her down. Spanning the life and legend of the greatest player of all time, the show will track Serena’s personal and generational journey from phenom to icon—re-examining decisive matches, formative moments, heartbreak, and glory along the way.
The series was directed by Gotham Chopra and co-produced by ESPN, Religion of Sports, Tom Brady’s 199 Productions, and Williams and Caroline Currier’s Nine Two Six Productions.
