Prime Video will release a new feature-length documentary, England’s Lions: The New Generation, on March 15 in the UK and Ireland. The film follows the rise of emerging footballers who played significant roles in England’s European Championship campaign last summer.
The documentary focuses on Cole Palmer, Kobbie Mainoo, Marc Guehi, and Ollie Watkins, detailing their experiences from early struggles to national team success. Produced by Workerbee, a Banijay UK company, and directed by Hassan Ghazi, the film includes match footage, personal interviews, and behind-the-scenes moments that highlight the challenges faced by these players.
Contributions from family members, friends, and mentors provide a deeper understanding of their paths to international football. The documentary explores how they navigated academy rejections, lower-division football, and the expectations that come with wearing the England shirt.
Prime Video has built a catalog of football documentaries, including the All or Nothing series featuring clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester City. England’s Lions: The New Generation follows this tradition by offering a closer look at individual players and their journeys.
The film arrives as England looks ahead to future international competitions, following a second consecutive European Championship final loss. By focusing on players expected to shape the national team in the years ahead, the documentary provides insight into the evolving landscape of English football.
