HBO’s latest addition to the award-winning sports documentary series Hard Knocks is taking a wider look at the NFL season. Hard Knocks In Season is expanding to tackle an entire NFL division with Hard Knocks In Season with the AFC North.
The four teams in the spotlight are the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers. The season premieres on HBO on December 3, 2024, with new episodes airing on Tuesdays at 9pm ET/PT.
Hard Knocks In Season with the AFC North will continue through the regular season and into the NFL playoffs.
“Last season the AFC North became the first division ever to have all four teams finish with a winning record, making it the perfect place to launch this new approach to Hard Knocks. We thank the Bengals, Browns, Ravens, and Steelers for the opportunity to showcase some of the greatest rivalries in football and present the intensity of a playoff chase from all four corners of this incredibly competitive division,” stated Keith Cossrow, Vice President and Head of Content, NFL Films.
