Apple TV+ debuts gripping trailer for the new, highly-anticipated three-part documentary "Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series," debuting Friday, March 28

Today, Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer for its highly-anticipated, all-access three-part documentary, "Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series," premiering globally on Friday, March 28. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker R.J. Cutler, and with executive producers including five-time World Series champion Derek Jeter, Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, the series takes viewers deeper than ever into the Fall Classic, capturing the intensity, drama and defining moments of the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees as they reignite one of baseball's most storied rivalries in pursuit of a World Series Championship.

R.J. Cutler shares, "Our goal was to make a truly cinematic experience that celebrates the drama, emotion and beauty of baseball at its highest-stakes moment: the World Series. We wanted to put the audience right in the guts of this story - the tension, the triumph, the heartbreak. As in life, the game of baseball is never over until the final out - you feel that in this series and your heart pounds with every twist and turn."

"As a lifelong baseball fan, I recognize the inherent drama in almost any MLB game, but with the Dodgers and Yankees in a World Series matchup and the remarkable director R.J. Cutler covering every aspect of the clash between these two great franchises, I knew it would yield a world-class documentary," says Ron Howard.

"'Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series' brings fans inside that journey like never before, capturing the intensity, sacrifices and defining moments that make this game so special," adds Derek Jeter. As someone who has lived these moments firsthand, I'm proud to help share this story and give viewers an unprecedented look at what it truly takes to compete on baseball's biggest stage."

With special access to superstar players, managers and their families, "Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series" immerses both new and die-hard baseball fans in an unforgettable journey through the 2024 World Series. The series weaves together the milestones, high stakes and gripping storylines that shaped each team's quest for the championship, told through the perspectives of players, coaches, fans, journalists and those closest to the action. The showdown begins with a history-making opener, setting the tone for one of the most anticipated World Series in decades. But the momentum shifts in Game 2 as Shohei Ohtani's injury delivers a devastating blow to the Dodgers, while the Yankees, on the brink of elimination, look to Aaron Judge for a spark. Just when the Dodgers seem poised to close it out, hometown hero Anthony Volpe's heroics force a dramatic Game 5, where the Yankees begin to look like their formidable old selves - though their hopes of a comeback hang by a thread.

Building on over 80 years of MLB chronicling the World Series, "Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series" takes fans deeper than ever before, offering a cinematic, all-access experience. Through exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, raw emotion and high-stakes drama, the series expands the perspective on baseball's biggest stage, bringing audiences closer than ever to America's favorite pastime and the relentless pursuit of its ultimate prize. With unprecedented access to stars like Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and Aaron Judge, the series captures the intensity of the game from the dugout to the clubhouse, offering a rare, unfiltered look at what it takes to compete at the highest level.

The project is produced for Apple TV+ in partnership with MLB ("The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox," "The Turnaround," "Once Upon a Time in Queens," "Moneyball," "42"), with Grazer and Howard's Imagine Documentaries (Apple's "The Dynasty: New England Patriots" and "The Super Models"), Cutler's acclaimed This Machine, a part of Sony Pictures Television (Apple's "Billie Eilish: The World's A Little Blurry," "Dear... ," "Martha," "Elton John: Never Too Late"), and five-time World Series champion and executive producer Jeter alongside his production company, CAP 2 Productions. The series is directed by Emmy Award-winning, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Cutler, with executive producers Jeter, Cutler, Howard, Grazer, Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes, Marc Gilbar, Nick Trotta, Trevor Smith, Mark Blatty, Elise Pearlstein and Justin Yungfleisch.
