New York, NY – May 7, 2019 – Premium television network EPIX(R) and NFL Films will team up this fall on the weekly series NFL: The Grind, premiering Wednesday, September 11 at 9pm eastern time and airing for 17 episodes throughout the entirety of the 2019 NFL season.

Said Michael Wright, President, EPIX, “At EPIX, we strive to tell compelling stories viewers won’t find anywhere else, and we’re thrilled to do that with The Grind, going deep behind the scenes of one of America’s most beloved sports, as only NFL Films can. We’re looking forward to working with the talented team at NFL Films to provide fans not only the final word on each week of the season, but also inside access to some of the most powerful stories behind the grind.”
“NFL Films is thrilled to join the EPIX family and thankful for their trust in us,” said Ken Rodgers, NFL Films Vice President, Senior Coordinating Producer. “The Grind is a new step in our storytelling evolution – inside access of the NFL’s biggest stories, delivered by true insiders who know the game best.
