HBO's upcoming sports docuseries Alex vs ARod is gearing up for a premiere next month to revisit the journey of iconic baseball star Alex Rodriguez. As already confirmed by Warner Bros. Discovery, the documentary will air in three parts, with each episode having a runtime of around 1 hour (or more).
The HBO project is being helmed by Gotham Chopra alongside Erik LeDrew in association with Religion of Sports. The docuseries will not only feature exclusive interviews with Alex Rodriguez but will also leave glimpses of his BTS moments on and off the pitch - a legendary career despite all the complications. The official synopsis of Alex vs ARod, per IMDb, reads:
"Alex vs A-Rod tracks baseball player Alex Rodriguez's journey from talented player to polarizing sports figure."
When will Alex vs ARod be released?
Alex vs ARod will be exclusively released on HBO as well as HBO Max on November 6 sharp at 9 p.m. ET/PT (Part I which is one hour long). Part II will premiere one week later on November 13 at the same time, but the episode will be one hour and twenty minutes. The third part of the HBO documentary will have its premiere on November 20 (release time remains the same) with a runtime of 1 hour 15 minutes. On behalf of HBO, Lisa Heller has executive produced the project alongside Bentley Weiner and Nancy Abraham, with Abtin Motia as supervising producer.
More about Alex vs ARod
Alex vs ARod follows the iconic career of basketball legend Alex Rodriguez, who rose to fame back in the early '90s after making his sports debut for the Seattle Mariners (1993 Major League Baseball). Alex was only 18 years old at that time, playing as a shortstop, and his massive evolution in seven years landed him a position in the Texas Rangers.
It was a contract that was considered quite controversial at that time. After achieving success with the Texas Rangers, Alex got a place in the New York Yankees while gracing the pitch alongside Derek Jeter. He found stardom in a very short time while turning out to be a public figure who often made it to front-page news.
But, in a shocking turn of events, in 2009 Alex Rodriguez was reportedly found to have been under the influence of a performance-enhancing substance (in the past) that brought some stains on his iconic career (he also won the first championship in the same year on behalf of the New York Yankees). Four years later, Alex faced a major PED suspension after a report found links of the star using illegal substances to enhance performance. He did return to the pitch following the scandalous incident with a vision to start afresh, but his iconic career was already over by then.
Alex vs ARod will also feature interviews with Alex Rodriguez's family and friends as they talk about the baseball icon's sinusoidal journey on the pitch. Hall of Famers and Alex's ex-MLB manager will also appear on the docuseries sharing their insights on his rather tumultuous career. Here's a list of the executive producers who have worked on the project:
- Lindsay Shookus
- Ameeth Sankaran
- Jon Rosen
- ,Gotham Chopra
- Caryn Capotosto
- Victor Buhler
- Erik LeDrew (co-executive producer)
