Production Type: Limited Series
Take Us Home: Leeds United is a standalone Limited Series that concluded its 8-episode run in September 2020. The production offers an intimate look at the English football club Leeds United during a transformative period under manager Marcelo Bielsa. Produced by Eleven Studios and Lorton Entertainment, the series utilized high-definition cinematography and behind-the-scenes access to capture the emotional highs and lows of the team's pursuit of Premier League promotion.
The narrative was specifically designed to document a historical arc beginning with the club's 2018-19 season and culminating in their successful return to the top flight of English football in 2020. Because the story focuses on this specific journey of redemption and eventual triumph, the project reached its natural conclusion once the objective of promotion was met. This structure ensures the series remains a definitive historical record of a specific era rather than an ongoing sports news program.
