ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Two of the biggest names in Ann Arbor football history are behind a new two-part documentary that takes viewers back through the Michigan national championship seasons of 1997 and 2023.
Tom Brady and Jim Harbaugh serve as executive producers of The Team: Michigan Football, which was announced Monday and is being made by the production company Shadow Lion. The first episode premieres at 7 p.m. ET on Friday, Nov. 27, one night before Michigan plays Ohio State. The second episode follows at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Dec. 12.
Episode one, titled The Eye of the Storm, follows the half-century bond between Harbaugh and the program, from his years as a Michigan player to his run as head coach that ended with the 2023 College Football Playoff title. Blake Corum, the tailback, and McCarthy, the passer from that title team, both appear.
The second installment, called Those Who Stay, returns to the decade of the 1997 championship team, with Charles Woodson and Brian Griese among the voices. Brady himself is shown climbing from seventh string, after few schools recruited him, all the way to starter. The series is promised to include footage the public has never seen. Jeff Fine of Shadow Lion directed the project.
