Following the tremendous success of its inaugural season on Netflix, Box to Box Productions has announced the release of 'Sprint' Season 2. Premiering on November 13, the docu-series will take an in-depth look at the Diamond League meets, national championships, and the highly anticipated Paris Olympics.
This season will spotlight the rising sprint sensation and Paris 100-meter silver medalist, Kishane Thompson, alongside his fellow Jamaican Oblique Seville, and gold medalist Noah Lyles. Former 200m Olympic Champion Shericka Jackson will also feature prominently, focusing on her decision to withdraw from the 100m and 200m events in Paris.

New Olympic champions will also be in the spotlight, including 200m gold medalist Letsile Tebogo from Botswana, 100m gold medalist, sprint sensation Julien Alfred from St. Lucia, and 200m gold medalist Gabby Thomas from the United States. Other notable athletes such as Fred Kerley, Melissa Jefferson, and Kenny Bednarek will also be featured among others.
Speculation has arisen about the apparent omission of Sha’Carri Richardson, a key figure in Season 1. While her absence is rumored based on the announced lineup, there's no official confirmation that the women's 100m Olympic silver medalist won't be part of the show.
"Sprint" delves into the world of elite sprinters, exploring how they navigate rigorous training, media scrutiny, and intense competition in their quest to become the world's fastest humans. The series features top sprinters from the United States, Great Britain, Ivory Coast, Kenya, and Italy. It also shines a spotlight on Jamaica, showcasing star athletes like Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson, and Elaine Thompson-Herah, while drawing inspiration from the legacy of Usain Bolt, the fastest man alive.
