TheNetflixhit documentary series Sunderland ‘Til I Die is coming back for an unexpected third season and it’s coming soon.
Instead of the feel good, instant return to the top flight success story that might have been expected for the Black Cats, Sunderland actually endured a terrible year upon their return to theFootballLeague.
In fact, Sunderland actually finished bottom of the Championship and were relegated to the third tier for the first time since 1987. The series offered a fly-on-the-wall look into a proud club’s remarkable down fall both on and off the pitch.
Sunderland would reach the League One play-off final the following season but were beaten to promotion by Charlton Athletic at Wembley.
Here’s all you need to know on season three:
When is Sunderland ‘Til I Die season three released?
You can watch the first two seasons of the show as well as the new series when it is released on Netflix.
The third entry into the Sunderland ‘Til I Die series will be just two episodes long, shorter than the eight of season one and the six of season two.
Leo Pearlman, of the series’ production company Fulwell 73’s, said: “This time we are purely focussing on the play-off win from last season.
“There will be two episodes that look at the incredible finale to the season with the play-off semi-finals and the play- off win against Wycombe at Wembley.
“We are ending Sunderland Til I Die on a high.”
