The release of a new documentary following Newcastle United’s 2022/23 season has been announced, with the series airing on next month.

The Magpies qualified for the Champions League during last season and the new documentary, entitled ‘We Are Newcastle United’ will provide a behind the scenes look at how the campaign unfolded. The first episode airs exclusively on from Friday 11th August and will chart Eddie Howe’s side’s charge to a fourth placed finish in the Premier League table.

The Magpies’ most successful season in two decades has seen the club return to Europe’s elite club competition. The documentary will be narrated by one of their fan favourites from the last Newcastle team to play in the Champions League, with Alan Shearer providing a voiceover for the four-episode series.

There will be exclusive, behind the scenes access to Newcastle’s dressing room as well as a view into the day-to-day workings of the club. In addition to access to the inner workings of Eddie Howe’s squad, there will be footage of Amanda Stavely’s life as a director of the club.

Upon the announcement of the documentary’s release, Amazon say: "Narrated by Newcastle United ’s all-time leading goalscorer Alan Shearer, the series will offer a unique insight into the club’s ongoing evolution under head coach Eddie Howe, offering exclusive access to the club’s decision makers and following the Magpies’ ongoing 2022/23 season from close quarters.

"With Eddie Howe’s squad chasing European qualification in the league after reaching their first cup inal for 24 years, the series will explore how the decisions made by the club off the pitch impact their fortunes on it.

"The series will also delve into Newcastle United’s storied history at the heart of one of the world’s great football cities and will explore the club’s unique bond with its passionate supporters as they follow their team in a season that has already defied expectations.
