Showtime Sports has given a greenlight to The World According to Football, a five-part documentary series narrated and executive produced by Trevor Noah, from Gotham Chopra’s Religion of Sports, Day Zero Productions and Mainstay Entertainment. The series’ first episode will premiere December 1 at 8 PM on Showtime, with episodes debuting weekly for five weeks. The entire series will be available for streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers on the day of premiere.
The five-part series focuses on a different country in each episode — Brazil, US, UK, France, and Qatar — and how soccer teams and fans in that country face global issues through the sport. The series tackles women’s rights, income inequality, labor rights, mental health, racism, nationalism and LGBTQ+ rights.
The series is produced by Gotham Chopra’s Religion of Sports in association with Day Zero Productions and Mainstay Entertainment.
“This may be the most important project we’ve ever produced,” Chopra said. “Not just because we got to collaborate with Trevor Noah and a team of brilliant creatives, but also because this show is so on brand for us. Sports – and in this case specifically football/soccer – is a language through which we get to explore some of the most critical issues of our time. That’s what we do at Religion of Sports. Also – in case you missed it – we got to work with Trevor Noah!!”

Caroline Brew editor SPOILER ALERT: This story contains major spoilers for “Leave the World Behind,” now streaming on Netflix. “There was one ending that was really inevitable,” says Rumaan Alam, whose novel “Leave the World Behind” was the source material for Netflix’s latest apocalyptic thriller. “The key thing to look at … is that the book ends with a question mark.” Sam Esmail’s sci-fi feature adaptation makes a few diversions from the book, particularly in regards to the ending. But according to Alam, who also serves as an executive producer on the film, these changes were “emotionally faithful to the book.” “Leave the World Behind” follows Amanda and Clay Sandford, played by Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke, who bring their children Rose and Archie (Farrah Mackenzie and Charlie Evans) on a beach getaway.
