The Netflix documentary series Sprint returns for a second season, focusing on Noah Lyles, Gabby Thomas and other members of the World Athletics contingent for the 2024 Olympic Games.

Netflix announced Thursday that the second season will premiere on November 13:

“Following athletes from around the world, this series delves deep into the psyche of these elite athletes training to become the fastest person on the planet. We take an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the high stakes and mental toughness of the sprinters who dedicate their lives to crossing the finish line in record time, where their professional futures are decided in fractions of a second.”

The second season will broadcast the Olympic qualifying competitions up to and including the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, featuring more than 12 stars from around the world in their quest to make history.

This continues Netflix’s expansion into Olympic coverage. The streamer announced on Wednesday that Simone Biles Rising: Part Two will be released on October 25th.

Lyles won two medals at the Paris Games, including gold in the men’s 100 meters, beating Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson by .005 seconds to become the first American to win the event at the Olympics since Justin Gatlin in 2004.

Thomas ended her incredible run in Paris as a triple gold medalist with victories in the women’s 100 meters, the 4×100 meters relay and the 4×400 meters relay. The U.S. team ran the second-fastest time ever in the 4×400 meters relay en route to gold.

Thomas, 27, led all track and field athletes at the 2024 Games with her three gold medals. She is one of two U.S. track and field athletes to win at least three gold medals at a single Olympic Games, joining Florence Griffith Joyner at the 1988 Seoul Games.

Fred Kerley, Kishane Thompson, Julien Alfred, Letsile Tebogo, Melissa Jefferson, Twanisha Terry, Marcell Jacobs, Kenny Bednarek, Shericka Jackson and Oblique Seville are among the other athletes who will appear in the second season.

The six-episode first season of Sprint was released on July 2. It covers the 2023 Diamond League season through the World Championships in Athletics.
