Apple TV announces new docuseries about the UConn women’s basketball team

Apple TV today announced “The Dynasty: UConn Huskies,” a three-part documentary series about the University of Connecticut women’s basketball program. Here are the details.

The Dynasty: UConn Huskies premieres August 21

In 2024, Apple TV premiered “The Dynasty: New England Patriots,” a 10-part documentary about the Brady, Belichick and Kraft era of the New England Patriots.

Today, Apple TV announced a new documentary series “The Dynasty,” this time chronicling the last four decades of the University of Connecticut women’s basketball program under coach Geno Auriemma.

Here is Apple:

In 1985, the UConn women’s basketball program had only one winning season. What followed was a transformation led by Auriemma and defined by an iconic lineage of players – from Rebecca Lobo and Swin Cash to Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore and Breanna Stewart – making the Huskies the gold standard in college basketball. In total, UConn has won 12 national championships, more than any other team, men’s or women’s, in NCAA Division I basketball history.

Under the leadership of the iconic and sometimes polarizing Auriemma, whose vision and intensity helped define the program’s identity, UConn has built a culture rooted in discipline, accountability and a relentless pursuit of excellence. This culture has produced generations of elite athletes and maintained a level of dominance rarely seen in sport, while revealing the demands, tensions and personal costs of maintaining such a demanding standard.

Apple says “The Dynasty: UConn Huskies” will tell this story across three episodes through exclusive interviews, never-before-seen archival footage and “intimate access to players, coaches, alumni and more,” with the series set to premiere Aug. 21.

“The Dynasty: UConn Huskies” is directed by Matthew Hamachek (Tiger) and Erica Sashin (Wrong Man), and will join other sports-themed series and films on Apple TV, including “F1 The Movie,” “Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series,” “Onside: Major League Soccer,” “Messi’s World Cup: The Rise of a Legend” and “Stephen Curry: Underrated.”

Apple TV is available for $12.99 per month and offers hit TV shows and movies like Severance, The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking and Silo.
