Peacock has published a trailer for Joe Montana: Cool Under Pressure, a six-part sports documentary series that gives us a first look at footage as well as a premiere date. The series will follow four-time Super Bowl champion Joe Montana, with the first two episodes launching exclusively on Peacock on January 6th, followed by additional episodes premiering weekly thereafter.
Montana, one of football’s biggest stars, was a quarterback with the San Francisco 49ers from 1979 to 1992, then the Kansas City Chiefs from 1993 to 1994.
Montana led the 49ers to four Super Bowl appearances during his career, and he is tied with Terry Bradshaw for the NFL record of most Super Bowl wins without a defeat with four. Montana won three Super Bowl MVP awards and two NFL MVP awards over the course of nearly two decades. In 2000, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and in 2009, he was inducted into the 49ers Hall of Fame.
Fans will see stories from Montana’s career that most people have never heard, such as the mistrust he experienced from his coaches, the controversies he encountered with teammates, and Montana’s own insecurities that propelled him to become one of the sport’s greatest quarterbacks.
Exclusive footage and interviews with several sports legends, including Tom Brady, Jerry Rice, Steve Young, George Seifert, Ed Debartolo, Peyton Manning, Magic Johnson, and Ken Griffey Jr., will be featured in Joe Montana: Cool Under Pressure. NFL Films, the company behind Lombardi, the Sports Emmy-winning documentary about football coach Vince Lombardi, is producing the series.
Joe Montana: Cool Under Pressure is a six-part sports documentary series that tells the stories of how one of the greatest quarterbacks in history overcame doubt from his coaches, problems with teammates, and insecurities from inside.
Where to watch this series?
The official trailer for Joe Montana: Cool Under Pressure, a sports documentary series launching on January 6, 2022, has been released by Peacock. One of the platform’s most appealing features is the possibility for customers to pick among three Peacock membership plans, one of which is free. There are two additional subscription levels that offer more content and fewer advertising for people who don’t mind paying for yet another streaming service.
Peacock Premium, which costs $4.99 per month or $50 per year, offers a larger library of content than the free edition. However, advertising is still there in this Premium option. The Peacock Premium Plus subscription, which costs $9.99 per month or $100 per year, gives you access to the extended Peacock library without the advertising.
To attract viewers, NBC is relying on a free, ad-supported version of Peacock, which can be accessed by downloading the Peacock app or visiting the Peacock website, creating a free account with an email address, and pushing play.
Peacock, like most streaming services, is available on game consoles, as well as phones, desktops, and some smart TVs. This free version does contain advertisements, but users will only see a maximum of 5 minutes of advertising each hour of viewing.
Peacock offers free access to numerous NBC TV series, with new episodes available one week after they air, as well as WWE Network programming and a rotating lineup of classic films and TV shows including The Office. Using Peacock for free also gives you access to some Peacock Originals, such as Brave New World, but it doesn’t allow you to save episodes or watch live sports.
Peacock Premium practically doubles the amount of content offered, as well as offering 4K streaming and all live sports. Peacock Originals are available to all subscribers, and NBC series are available the day after they air. The sole difference between Peacock Premium and Premium Plus is commercials; however, Premium Plus also provides offline downloading.
