With unprecedented access to the boardroom, dressing-room and inner workings of the club, audiences will be taken on a compelling fly-on-the-wall journey following the American owners ALK Partners. Led by chairman, Alan Pace, and inspired by their religious faith as members of the Church of the Latter-Day Saints, ALK swapped Wall Street for Turf Moor in Lancashire in a bid to build a global footballing dynasty in Burnley and beyond.

The candid series charts a rollercoaster period which saw the club lurch from the devastation of final-day relegation from the 2021/22 Premier League to the jubilation of promotion in the most empathetic fashion. The documentary also explores Burnley’s evolution under the stewardship of one of the game’s most exciting young managers, Vincent Kompany, whilst delving deep into the bittersweet realities of striving for success in football.

All four episodes of the series will be available to stream as a boxset on NOW and Sky Documentaries from Thursday  August 10th.
