Notre Dame is set to appear in a 'Hard Knocks'-style documentary that will take viewers behind the scenes of Fighting Irish football.
As reported by Sports Illustrated, NBC's Peacock streaming service are planning a season-long show on the famed program, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said on Wednesday.
The show is slated to begin in 2024 and will be similar to HBO's iconic series 'Hard Knocks', which goes inside NFL franchises every season.
Notre Dame, which has won 11 national titles, went 9-3 this season. Marcus Freeman's team takes on Oregon State in the Sun Bowl on December 29.
NBC has broadcast Notre Dame football since 1990 and the network recently agreed a new deal to show Fighting Irish home games through 2029.

The news comes at the end of a tumultous season for college football. Earlier this week, NCAA president Charlie Baker proposed the creation of a new FBS subdivision which would grant the elite of the elite in greater ability to compensate their athletes.
Baker - the former governor of Massachusetts - is suggesting schools should be allowed to directly pay student-athletes after advocating for reforms in their compensation.
Under current rules, athletes can only be compensated by schools in the form of scholarships and any money for their name, image, and likeness (NIL) has to be directed through a collective not directly controlled by the school.
But Baker's proposals will allow schools to invest money into a trust fund for 'at least half of the institution's eligible student-athletes' and will let schools directly engage in NIL deals with athletes.
Baker is also proposing for schools to 'make it possible for all Division I colleges and universities to offer student-athletes any level of enhanced educational benefits they deem appropriate.'
