Faceoff: Inside the NHL, the Prime Video docuseries that delves into the personal and professional lives of the NHL’s best players, will return for a six-episode second season in 2025, it was announced Thursday.
Produced by Box to Box and NHL Productions, it will be available in the fall to more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The inaugural season centered on superstars Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers, Matthew Tkachuk of the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, William Nylander of the Toronto Maple Leafs and David Pastrňák of the Boston Bruins — and their teammates, coaches and family members.
Producers say the second season will spend more time with Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk, Matthew’s younger brother, and their dad, Keith Tkachuk, who played for 18 seasons in the NHL. Players joining Brady for season two will be announced.
Season one “delivered riveting, personal content like never before. With more all-access footage than ever, we’re taking fans deeper into the lives of our players and their families. We can’t wait to do it again,” NHL president of content & events Steve Mayer said in a statement.
“From intense drama to moments that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between, this season will only be better. Millions of viewers worldwide are about to experience the show’s unique style and perspective that showcases the NHL in a way they’ve never seen before.”
The series is executive produced by Mayer; James Gay-Rees, Paul Martin and Hillary Olsen for Box to Box; and showrunner Daniel Amigone.
Faceoff: Inside the NHL joins Prime Monday Night Hockey, the exclusive destination for national regular-season Monday night NHL English-language games, and NHL Coast to Coast, the live “whip-around” studio show that airs Thursday nights in Canada.
It’s the fifth original hockey program that Amazon has produced with NHL Productions for Prime Video.
