Last Chance U is an American documentary television series that is produced and premiered by Netflix. The six-episode first season explores the football program at East Mississippi Community College, which features several collegiate athletes that have had trouble in their lives and struggled with finding structure.
The players are then required to perform at the junior college (JUCO) level, under the stewardship of coach Buddy Stephens, to prove themselves and return to Division I.
The fifth run will follow Laney as they look to build on their championship win in 2018 – with the team forced to contend with injuries and extreme pressure in their bid to regain their title.
As is always the case with this series, there are also all sorts of insights into the programme and the team’s outlook, with extensive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with both players and management.
Netflix has announced that the upcoming fifth run will be the final season of the show in its current iteration, there will be a spin-off arriving in 2021 – with the focus changing from American football to basketball.
