"Of course, Brady is the executive producer of this series (via his Religion of Sports production company), and it's well-known he grew up as a die-hard 49ers fan. At a red carpet event ahead of the San Francisco premiere last week, Brady's production partner Gotham Chopra said this specific project has been a long time coming from the seven-time Super Bowl champion. "Tom is football, through and through - it's the love of his life. And I think that love was born and conceived with the 49ers," Chopra said. "... I think this is a story he's always wanted to tell, and it started to come together three or four years ago.""
""Rise of the 49ers" is a four-part series on AMC that offers around three hours of content on the San Francisco dynasty. The first two episodes aired on Sunday night, with the final two slated to premiere Monday night. It seems clear the series prioritized the years that formed Brady's football life, specifically, though it does include all of the characters you'd want in a look book at the 49ers. If you're a 49ers fan who lived through that era, the documentary will be a good trip down memory lane alongside quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young, wide receiver Jerry Rice, owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. and archival footage of head coach Bill Walsh."
The four-part, roughly three-hour AMC series chronicles the San Francisco 49ers dynasty and emphasizes the era that influenced Tom Brady's football upbringing. Tom Brady serves as executive producer through his Religion of Sports company and envisioned the project for years. The series spotlights quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young, wide receiver Jerry Rice, owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr., and archival footage of coach Bill Walsh. It also includes local Bay Area figures such as team photographer Michael Zagaris and journalist Ray Ratto, and it prioritizes the franchise years most formative to Brady's football identity.
