Texas Tech Football Docuseries In Paramount+ Game Plan, Eyes 2026 Kickoff

Paramount+ is huddling up with the Texas Tech for a docuseries on its football team that is eyed to premiere in time for the 2026 season in the fall. The four-episode show produced by Skydance Sports and Second Wind Creative will follow the Red Raiders and head coach Joey Maguire as they prepare for a key campaign after a high-profile betting scandal rocked the program this year.

The untitled docuseries from director and showrunner Micah Brown has been in production since January, before transferring senior quarterback Brendan Sorsby lost a legal battle and was ruled ineligible after he checked himself into rehab for a gambling addiction in late April. The signal caller placed tens of thousands of dollars in bets on games during his four-year NCAA playing career, including dozens of his own team’s games while at Indiana University.

“This has proven to be a landscape-altering offseason and we’ve been lucky to have a front-row seat,” said Greg Groggel, SVP Unscripted at Skydance Sports. “This series will present fans and viewers with an unprecedented window into everything that is defining college football today.”

Texas Tech won the Big 12 Championship Game in December for the first time in school history and was ranked in the national Top 10. The Red Raiders, however, lost to Oregon 23-0 in the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Day.

“Texas Tech football has one of the most passionate fanbases in college sports, and this docuseries will give them an unprecedented look at what it takes to build an elite program,” said Jane Wiseman, Head of Originals for Paramount+.
