Which Netflix original series chronicles the career of Michael Jordan?

The Netflix original documentary series that chronicles Michael Jordan’s career is 'The Last Dance'. The 2020 sports miniseries focuses especially on Jordan’s final season with the Chicago Bulls, the 1997–98 campaign, while also tracing the rise of the team and the major figures around him.

Directed by Jason Hehir, the series uses extensive behind-the-scenes footage filmed during the Bulls’ 1997–98 season. Jordan had allowed a film crew unusually broad access, but the material remained unused for years before he approved the documentary project. Interviews with teammates, coaches, opponents, executives and other public figures broaden the story beyond game highlights.

The title refers to head coach Phil Jackson’s description of the 1997–98 Bulls season as a final run for the championship-winning group. The series originally aired on ESPN in the United States from April 19 to May 17, 2020, while Netflix distributed it internationally. It won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series.
