"Following a successful debut season that offered rare glimpses into the personal and professional lives of top-tier athletes, Season 2 introduces an entirely new roster of five players, each with a unique story and perspective. This year's lineup includes Kevin Durant, Jaylen Brown, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrese Haliburton, and James Harden-five names that define both the current and future state of the NBA."
"The trailer hints at a season that balances the emotional highs and lows of a grueling 82-game season with the personal transformations that occur off the court. From Durant's return to form after battling injuries, to Haliburton's emergence as one of the league's most electrifying point guards, the show weaves together narratives that speak to resilience, reinvention, and the relentless pursuit of greatness."
"Produced by three powerhouses in entertainment and sports media-LeBron James's UNINTERRUPTED, Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions, and Higher Ground Productions, founded by Barack and Michelle Obama- Starting 5 is designed to place athletes in control of their own narratives. Instead of the filtered commentary of analysts or the curated highlight reels often seen on social media, the docuseries hands players the microphone."
Starting 5 Season 2 premieres October 16, 2025, with eight 45-minute episodes that deliver unfiltered, human portraits of five NBA superstars. The season replaces the original roster with Kevin Durant, Jaylen Brown, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrese Haliburton, and James Harden, and focuses on life during a grueling 82-game campaign and the personal growth that happens off the court. The series emphasizes athlete-driven storytelling and removes analyst-driven narratives and highlight reels in favor of players controlling their own perspectives. Production partners include UNINTERRUPTED, Omaha Productions, and Higher Ground Productions, aiming for intimate portrayals of resilience, reinvention, and pursuit of greatness.
