The ESPN 10-part docuseries “The Last Dance” was originally set to release this summer. However, amid the coronavirus pandemic, ESPN decided to release the documentary earlier to aid a sports world currently starving for content.
On April 19, the first two episodes were released, sending sports fans and the Twitter world alike into a frenzy. The combination of never-before-seen interviews mixed with nostalgic Bulls highlights from the mid-1990s captivated audiences on a multitude of levels.
Under the current sports climate, “The Last Dance” already broke viewership records for ESPN in its first week. According to CNN, the premiere amassed over six million in viewership.
