Touted by host streamer Peacock as boasting "exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews that take you deeper into Notre Dame football than you’ve ever been before," the comparisons to "Welcome to Wrexham" are unavoidable.
The genius of that series is the way it has melded the tale of on-pitch seasons with the human stories you don't normally see and similarly, "Here Come the Irish" will shine a light on the players inside the Fighting Irish helmets in real time, as Marcus Freeman's team pursue their first championship in nearly 40 years.
From the ongoing balancing act of hard training and academic study, to match prep and the febrile Notre Dame Stadium game day atmosphere, "Here Come the Irish" is set to give football fans an unprecedented peek behind the curtain at the house that Rockne built. Episodes are set to drop throughout the 2024 college season, culminating in the finale in January (you can see a full schedule at the bottom of this article).
