UNC originally planned to take part in a docuseries with Hulu to provide behind-the-scenes insight on the journey of the program through Bill Belichick’s first season with the team. Belichick announced the plan to the team in August, and the team shared that announcement on social media. 

“I’m excited to share with you that we will be doing that with EverWonder and Hulu that will showcase our football program,” Belichick said in the video. “This is about the UNC football program. There’s obviously a lot of interest in it, and it will stream on Hulu later this fall.

“It’s gonna feature the players working hard, which you guys do. It’s about the players improving and getting better through their hard work, which you do. And a program starting from where it started from several months ago to wherever it’s gonna do during the course of the season, which, of course, we determine on the field. It’ll show our commitment to winning, it’ll show our commitment to the team, and that’s our priority.”

North Carolina is 2-3 through five games and has been outscored by power conference opponents 120-33. UNC is on a bye week and will face California on the road next Saturday.
