Comedian, producer and die-hard Knicks fan, Ben Stiller is making a multi-part documentary series on the Knicks’ championship journey.
Stiller will work in partnership with the NBA, HBO and A24 to chronicle New York franchise’s long-awaited championship. According to the official description, the series will explore the history, culture and enduring legacy of the Knicks.
“Couldn’t be more excited to make this doc with @a24 and @hbo about the NY KNICKS!!!!,” Stiller posted on X, adding: “#LETSGOKNICKS.”
As a guest on the Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart’s “Roommates” podcast Wednesday (June 18), Stiller told the winning players “I did say ‘Knicks in 26.’”
Stiller added that the documentary will cover more than the championship season. “But it’s going to be about all eras of the Knicks, and this team obviously, there’s a culmination here, of something that’s been going on for a long time. It’s super exciting. It’s great to have had all this access to your team. We’re going to probably be shooting a little bit more during next season, and I’m going to hit you guys up for some interviews. It’s going to be over the next year that we’ll be working on it,” he told the hosts. “A lot of people have wanted to make it happen for a long time.”
The project is expected to feature never-before-seen footage and behind-the-scenes access, giving fans an inside look at the people and moments that helped shape one of the most celebrated seasons in New York sports history.
