Wednesday, April 1, 2020 at 1:49PM ESPN Films and Netflix's The Last Dance will be launched earlier to keep sports fans entertained while a lot of us stay at home. The 10-episode documentary series revolves around basketball legend Michael Jordan. It was initially supposed to launch early in the summer, but now it'll airing on ESPN in the US starting April 19 until May 17. Internationally, it will be released a day after, starting April 20.
The Last Dance follows Jordan's rise in the '90s, the Chicago Bulls' success, and the increasing popularity of the National Basketball Association at that time.
