‘Greatness Code’: Apple TV+ Documentary to Highlight Untold Stories from LeBron James, Tom Brady
LeBron James, Tom Brady, and Usain Bolt are among the variety of star athletes who will discuss the pivotal moments of their careers in Apple’s upcoming “Greatness Code.”
The Cupertino, California tech company unveiled the trailer for its upcoming sports documentary on June 29. Though the show’s new trailer doesn’t delve too deeply into what those untold stories will be, the promise of never-before-revealed experiences from some of the world’s most beloved athletes should be an easy sell to Apple TV+ subscribers. The series’ complete first season will premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday, July 10.
Per Apple, the upcoming short form unscripted series will spotlight the untold stories from some of the world’s greatest athletes and Olympic gold medalists. Season 1 will contain seven episodes, with each focusing on a pivotal moment from a specific athlete’s careers. The subjects that will be featured in Season 1 of “Greatness Code” are: three-time NBA champion James, six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, Olympic gold medalist soccer pro Alex Morgan, eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt, Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Shaun White, five-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Katie Ledecky, and champion surfer Kelly Slater.
