A multi-episode documentary covering the 2025 season will hit TV screens next year
Willie Peters addresses his Hull KR team after their Challenge Cup victory at Wembley.
Hull KR are closing in on agreeing a major television deal which will allow viewers the chance to relive the club’s triumphant 2025 season on and off the pitch. Hull Live understands a multi-episode documentary is currently being put together for broadcast, with major television networks in the UK and abroad in final discussions to showcase the series.
Hull Live has learned Hull-based media company eski were commissioned by the Rovers board over a year ago with a view to producing an all-encompassing warts and all documentary that showcases not just the first team, but all aspects of the club and its inner-workings from boardroom to the many community staff.
A film crew was present at every match last season to follow the fortunes of Willie Peters and his players, joining the coach and the squad inside the dressing room and at the training ground, with the footage just happening to capture the greatest season in Hull KR’s history as the Challenge Cup, League Leaders Shield and then Grand Final were all won.
It is understood the documentary will detail the incredible highs of the 2025 season, while also providing a rare insight into the inner-workings of the club., with all aspects of the Rovers operation showcased with the club having opened its doors to the film crew for an entire year.
In March of this year a three-part fly on the wall documentary following Wigan Warriors in their own historic treble-winning season of 2024 was shown on Sky Documentaries, following a premier on Sky Sports Action ahead of the club’s game against Warrington Wolves in Las Vegas.
A similar approach in terms of the release of the documentary could be employed by Rovers, who not only have a trip to Las Vegas next year but also have a World Club Challenge clash against Brisbane Broncos to look forward to in February at a sold out MKM Stadium.
Hull KR are remaining tight-lipped on the matter, but one source told Hull Live they had seen early footage and viewers would be engrossed in what they described as ‘not a normal sports documentary that goes beyond what you expect,’ with a suggestion the series will run for six or seven episodes.
