EXCLUSIVE: No stranger to telling compelling stories about real-life figures who overcome incredible odds, Imagine Entertainment co-founder Brian Grazer is set to unveil his new passion project based on one of the great dynasties in sports.
Imagine’s new 10-episode Apple TV+ docuseries The Dynasty: New England Patriots premieres Friday and is sure to excite not only NFL fans still craving football following the Super Bowl, but also surprise with some of its eye-opening revelations.
Grazer, along with his Imagine partner Ron Howard and director Matthew Hamacheck, tell a compelling and riveting story using never-before-seen on-the-field and behind-the-scenes footage as well as on-the-record interviews that rival the Michael Jordan doc The Last Dance. The list of NFL and Patriots talking heads includes NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Hall of fame defensive end Michael Strahan, longtime coach Bill Belichick, and of course, Tom Brady.
Grazer says the idea for The Dynasty came together owing to his relationship with Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Brady, whom he first met in 2014 at an Activision conference.
As the relationships grew, Grazer says Kraft mentioned a book being written on the Patriots dynasty (from 2001-2018 under Belichick and Brady, the team played in nine Super Bowls and won six, setting numerous NFL records along the way) and asked if they had any interest in a potential series.
Grazer sat down with Deadline recently to talk about The Dynasty, how they were able to get so many people to participate and why he and Imagine are still drawn to stories about real-life people. It comes during a busy time at the company, which recently bowed its Disney+ series Choir and the Nat Geo anthology series Genius: MLK/X

Harrison Ford revealed that he can’t escape the music of John Williams, who scored Ford’s “Indiana Jones” and “Star Wars” movies — even during a certain delicate medical procedure. “As I often remind John, his music follows me everywhere I go — literally,” Ford, 81, said in a Variety profile of the “Indiana Jones” theme song.“When I had my last colonoscopy, they were playing it on the operating room speakers.”Ford, who’s a famous curmudgeon, also said that his admiration for Williams’ music extends beyond the movies on which they’re both associated.
