Angelique Jackson The Boston Red Sox, one of the most storied franchises in baseball, is getting the documentary treatment, and Variety has your first look at the immersive Netflix series. “The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox” is directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Greg Whiteley (“Cheer,” “America’s Sweethearts,” “Last Chance U”) and marks the first time Netflix will follow an MLB team over the course of a full season, with unprecedented access into the players’ personal and professional lives.

The eight episode docuseries, which debuts on April 8, is one of two Red Sox-focused projects at Netflix. “The Comeback,” now streaming, looks back at the legendary 2004 team and tells the story of one of the greatest comebacks in sports history, with the team’s first World Series victory after an 86-year drought. “The Clubhouse” sees Whiteley and his crew embedded with the team two decades later.

A new teaser sets the stakes: the clip begins as Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas walks through the clubhouse and onto the field. “I’ve dedicated my life to this game,” Casas says in voiceover as he prepares to take his turn at-bat. “It’s tough when you go up there because you’re vulnerable.

You can do everything right and still have a bad result.” It’s a prescient warning because Casas grounds out — and he doesn’t go easy on himself, expressing his frustration while removing his batting gloves.
