“We’ve spent the past year making ambitious documentaries with exclusive access to A-list names with the best creative talent in the business,” said Doyle. “It’s been great to see the reactions to Finding Michael and Save Our Squad with David Beckham and I can’t wait for audiences to see what else we’ve been up to and discover stories they may not expect to see on Disney+.”
