Ten episodes. Ten Super Bowls. Tom Brady recounts the greatest underdog story ever told.

How did an unheralded sixth round pick become the most accomplished athlete of his generation? In this 10-part series, Brady and the characters that joined him along the way remember the extraordinary events that led to Brady’s ten Super Bowl appearances. This is Brady as open as he’s ever been, sharing not only his personal story but also the insights he has gathered while maximizing his potential, transforming from a backup into a living legend.

In the Arena: Brady comes off the bench and transforms from an unknown into a Super Bowl champion.

The Toughest Things: To prove his first championship wasn’t a fluke, Tom learns to only focus on things he can control.

The Edge: Tom and his co-captains take the concept of “team culture” to the edge.

Goliaths: To fall just short of perfection is a pain that cuts so deep that it never fades.

No Guarantees: A comeback—from defeat and injury—underscores a larger story playing out off the field.

Stop the Bleeding: Brady finds himself on the wrong side of a miracle, only to see the tables turn.

Surrender: Brady masters the zen philosophy that makes him believe no deficit feels insurmountable.

Nobody’s Business: Tom is torn between family and football during the most challenging season of his career.

Maybe: As Tom keeps dominating, everybody wonders: What’s still driving him?

Coming Soon: Tom must adapt to—and create—a whole new culture.
