Sports shows have proved a hit with international audiences in recent years, thanks to the success of series such as Heated Rivalry, Finding Her Edge and even Formula 1: Drive to Survive.

What have the creatives said about The Land?
In an interview with Deadline, William H. Macy teased a few details about the upcoming show.

They’re Shakespearean. It’s about football, but, oh, my lord, the plots are so profound, and I’m having the time of my life.”
