When is season 2 of 'SPRINT' releasing? From cast details to streaming options, everything to know about the Netflix docuseries
The second season of the SPRINT docuseries is set to make its debut on Netflix on November 13, featuring some of the greatest sprinters who impressed at the Paris Olympic Games.
The second season of the SPRINT docuseries comes after season one was released in July, as it documented the lives of athletes building up to the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. The series is produced by Paul Martin, James Gay-Rees, and Warren Smith of Box to Box Films.
As reported by Citius Magazine, JT Taylor and Yiannis Exarchos of the Olympic Channel, and Jérôme Parmentier and David Herren of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are part of the producers.
The second season of SPRINT will follow the lives of athletes in the build-up to the Paris Olympic Games. It will follow the sprinters to the Diamond League Meetings and the National Championships, which doubled up as Olympic trials for various nations.
The production of the docuseries was made possible through the partnership between Netflix and the IOC. The third and fourth episodes of Simone Biles: Rising were made possible through the partnership.
Netflix announced the release of the second season of SPRINT docuseries, saying:
"From off the track to the starting line, see the moments that led to Olympic glory! Sprint Season 2 premieres November 13!"
When and where is the SPRINT docuseries going to be released?
The second season of the SPRINT docuseries will be aired on Netflix, just like the first season of the film. The release date of the series will be on Wednesday, November 13, just after the track and field season ends.
It will be a perfect opportunity for track and field fans to follow the lives of their favorite sprinters as they prepare for the Olympic Games.
The series will only be available on Netflix and fans will have to pay a subscription fee to access it. It will not be accessible through any other streaming platform.
Cast and characters in the series
The SPRINT docuseries will feature a series of sprinters who impressed at the Paris Olympic Games. However, some of the athletes who were in the first season will not be featured in the second, as announced by Netflix.
Missing from the list include Jamaican sprint queens Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Elaine Thompson-Herah. Richardson is not part of the list shared by Netflix despite being part of the main cast in the first season. World 100m bronze medallist Zharnel Hughes, who was in the first part of the docuseries, will not be featured in the second part.
Athletes debuting in the series include Kishane Thompson, Julien Alfred, Melissa Jefferson, Letsile Tebogo, Twanisha Terry, Kenny Bednarek and Oblique Seville.
Thompson made headlines this season after setting a world-leading time of 9.77 seconds in the men’s 100m at the Jamaican Olympic trials. He went on to win the silver medal in the men’s 100m at the Paris Olympic Games.
On her part, Alfred became the first athlete to win an Olympic medal for Saint Lucien, where she claimed the 100m gold medal and 200m silver medal at the Paris Olympics. Jefferson explained that she was supposed to be a part of the first season, but did not make the final product.
"I actually was supposed to be a part of the SPRINT series originally and you know that didn't necessarily pan out in the way we had hoped. So is this one of those things where I knew what I was getting into. ? knew there was always a possibility that I may or may not be used," she said.
She added:
"It did kind of suck in the process because you get your hopes up a little bit because you're like ‘Wow, this is great exposure for me.’ But I think now that I'm on the podium people are going to be having a little different tune to sing. I like to say that everything happens for a reason and let the chips fall where they do."
After beating Noah Lyles at the Racers Grand Prix and the men’s 100m semifinal at the Paris Olympic Games, there was no doubt that Oblique Seville could not be featured. After being impressive at the U.S. Olympic trials where he finished second in both the men’s 100m and 200m and winning silver in the men’s 200m at the Paris Olympics, Bednarek will be featured too.
Terry was part of the women’s 4x100m relay team that claimed the gold at the Paris Olympic Games racing alongside Richardson, Gabby Thomas, and Jefferson. Tebogo became the first African to win an Olympic gold medal in the men’s 200m and will be featured in the docuseries too.
The returnees of the series include Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles, Gabby Thomas, Fred Kerley, Marcell Jacobs and Shericka Jackson. Jackson did not compete at the Olympic Games due to an injury setback.
Lyles’ Olympic campaign was shattered after he tested positive for COVID-19 and could not compete in the men’s 4x100m relay and was forced to finish third in the men’s 200m. Kerley won the bronze medal in the men’s 100m final in Paris.
Thomas exited the Olympic Games with three gold medals from winning the women’s 200m, 4x400m relay and the 4x100m relay. Jacobs, hoping to defend his title, failed to love up to the billing as he clocked 9.85s for a fifth-place finish.
What is the SPRINT docuseries all about?

The first season of the docuseries was all about how the athletes prepared for the World Championships. It featured the tough training schedules, competitions in the Diamond League Meetings and their mindsets going into the global showpiece.
