FORT MYERS, Florida — The 2024 Boston Red Sox will be must-see TV, whether they like it or not.
Netflix, the streaming behemoth, has already started filming a behind-the-scenes docuseries about the upcoming Red Sox season. The show, set to debut in 2025, follows in the footsteps of other successful all-access sports docs on Netflix, including “Drive to Survive,” “Last Chance U” and “Cheer.”
Evidence of the project is scattered all across Boston’s spring training complex: enormous, high-tech movie cameras, boom mics, carts with mountains of gear, producers in headsets. As Lucas Giolito threw live batting practice to his new Boston teammates under the midday Florida sun on Tuesday, a camera operator recorded every second from behind a protective netting next to third base.
