BRISTOL, Conn. — “Peyton’s Places,” an Emmy-nominated ESPN series in which Peyton Manning takes a lighthearted look at the history of the NFL, will return for a second season.
ESPN said Wednesday that the new season will include 15 episodes on ESPN+, its streaming service, and will run from Thanksgiving through the Super Bowl.
Manning, a record five-time NFL Most Valuable Player who becomes eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in January, hosted the 30-episode docuseries in 2019 as part of the NFL’s celebration of its 100th season. His travels across America led to Manning throwing passes from a New York skyscraper to Hall of Fame receiver Cris Carter on the ground; dressing like Elvis Presley for an impromptu touch football game at Graceland; and riding in a Hupmobile — the league’s founding occurred in a showroom for that car.
