Birmingham City is gearing up for a big summer with the release of their highly anticipated Amazon Prime documentary, Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues, premiering on August 1.
The series will focus on NFL legend Tom Brady, who became a minority owner of the club in 2023 after Knighthead Capital Management took over. The trailer, which recently dropped on Birmingham’s social media, highlights Brady’s surprising venture into English football.
“We’re trying to make Birmingham City a world-class team,” Brady declares in the trailer, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting series.
The documentary will cover the club’s recent history, including relegation from the Championship, managerial changes, and their record-breaking League One title-winning campaign under Chris Davies. Fans can expect behind-the-scenes footage of key matches and emotional moments that defined the Blues’ journey.
Executive produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, the series aims to explore the club’s cultural significance beyond the pitch. Directors Gotham Chopra and Claudia Corbisiero delve into Birmingham’s working-class roots and its passionate fan base, as well as the club’s ambitious plans for a new stadium in Bordesley Green.
With the Championship season kicking off soon and high-profile signings like Kyogo Furuhashi boosting excitement among fans, Built in Birmingham arrives at a pivotal moment for the club. It’s more than just a documentary; it’s a call to arms for a club on the verge of a resurgence.
From the gridiron to St Andrew’s, Tom Brady’s unexpected journey with Birmingham City is shaping up to be one of football’s most intriguing comeback stories.
