Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow put together a masterful season in 2024, completing 70.6% of his pass attempts for a league-leading 4,918 yards and 43 touchdowns.

Burrow's 2024 campaign was recognized with his second career Comeback Player of the Year honor, returning to the field following the wrist injury that held him out for the majority of the 2023 season.

Now, fans are set to get an inside look at Burrow's life on and off the field as he's one of the three QBs featured in Season 2 of Netflix's documentary series, "Quarterback." Kirk Cousins and Jared Goff are the other two featured signal callers.

On Monday, Netflix released the Season 2 trailer and announced a release date scheduled for July 8.

The Bengals took to social media to react to this news.

"QB1 comin' to a screen near you," the team's official account wrote on X.

"Quarterback" is produced by Peyton Manning's company, Omaha Productions. Burrow declined an invitation to appear in Season 1, but agreed to be featured in this year's edition of the show.

“A big part was Peyton being involved in it,” Burrow said in an interview earlier this year. “I have a lot of respect for him, obviously. What he did, does, as a person, when that guy reaches out to you and asks you to do something... most of the time I’m going to say ‘yes.’”

“Only positive things could come out of it,” he continued. “He’s going to protect me, protect our team, protect our organization. I have trust in him for saying that and trust that he’s going to do that. I probably wouldn’t have done it if he wasn’t involved, but I have a lot of trust and faith in him to not do anything that would hurt me or the team.”

Burrow and the Bengals will kickoff their 2025 NFL regular-season schedule with a Week 1 matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Sep. 7.
