‘Full Court Press’ Documentaries to Star Caitlin Clark, Kiki Rice, and Kamilla Cardoso…………………….
Together, ESPN, Disney Advertising, and NFL superstar Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions are producing a new documentary series called Full Court Press, which will feature Caitlin Clark and other elite women’s basketball players.
The show, which debuts on ABC and ESPN+ on Saturday and Sunday, centres on Clark, Kiki Rice, and Kamilla Cardoso as they play women’s collegiate basketball in 2023–2024.
Full Court Press largely concentrates on the three teams that were among the top candidates in the NCAA tournament this past season: Cardoso’s South Carolina Gamecocks, Rice’s UCLA Bruins, and Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes. They all wanted to win a national championship.
In an interview with the Pat McAfee Show, Manning compared Full Court Press to his popular Netflix documentary series Quarterback and stated that he intended to take a similar approach with women’s basketball:
Last season, Cardoso and Clark faced off in the national championship game, with Cardoso’s Gamecocks emerging victorious to wrap up an unbeaten campaign.
Although ranked second, Rice’s Bruins had to endure the heartbreak of losing to No. 3 LSU in the Sweet 16 round.
Full Court Press revealed the conclusion of both Clark and Cardoso’s college careers, despite the fact that Rice will be returning to UCLA for the 2024–2025 season.
Cardoso’s Gamecocks defeated Clark’s team in the previous season’s national championship game, capping an undefeated campaign.
In the meantime, Rice’s Bruins were ranked second, but they had to endure the pain of losing to No. 3 LSU in the Sweet 16.
Full Court Press revealed that both Clark and Cardoso’s collegiate careers were coming to an end, despite Rice’s return to UCLA for the 2024–25 season.
In the 2024 WNBA draft, shortly after the event, the Chicago Sky selected Cardoso third overall, while the Indiana Fever selected Clark first overall.
Using the “Inner Baller” ad campaign, Full Court Press hopes to inspire young girls to pursue their dreams of playing basketball and to raise awareness of women’s sports in general. In addition to featuring Clark, Rice, and Cardoso during the women’s college basketball season, the campaign also documents Clark and Cardoso’s preparation for the WNBA draft.
All four of Full Court Press’s episodes will be accessible on Hulu from May 14 through June 12 in addition to airing on ABC and ESPN+.
