GLOBAL REVEAL: Netflix Drops “New Era: It’s Time” – A Thrilling Inside Look at Aston Villa’s Rise, Featuring Exclusive Access to Players, Coaches, and Summer Signings. Premiering August 15th, the Series Showcases Ambition, Passion, and the Club’s Determination to Challenge the Premier League Elite Like Never Before in History.
Netflix has officially pulled back the curtain on one of the most highly anticipated sports documentary releases of the year, New Era: It’s Time, a gripping behind-the-scenes look at Premier League side Aston Villa. Premiering worldwide on August 15th, the series promises to deliver fans unprecedented access to the players, coaches, and brand-new signings who have been brought in to propel the club into the Premier League’s top echelon.
Filmed over several months, the documentary dives deep into the high-intensity world of modern football, charting Aston Villa’s journey from a resilient mid-table competitor to a bold, ambitious contender for European glory. Netflix cameras were given rare, unrestricted access inside Bodymoor Heath training ground, capturing everything from private team talks and tactical sessions to raw, emotional locker-room moments after victories — and defeats.
One of the series’ most exciting angles will be the introduction of Aston Villa’s latest transfer window recruits, all eager to stamp their authority on English football. The documentary captures their first training sessions, the challenges of adapting to the Premier League’s pace, and their budding relationships with established stars like captain John McGinn and striker Ollie Watkins.
Executive producers have hinted that New Era: It’s Time will not shy away from tension. It will explore the high stakes of life at the top level — injuries, transfer negotiations, media scrutiny, and the unrelenting pressure from fans hungry for success. The series also offers an intimate profile of head coach Unai Emery, revealing the meticulous preparation and tactical genius behind his transformation of the squad.
For lifelong Villans, the documentary serves as a celebration of the club’s revival and its commitment to building a future rooted in passion, discipline, and strategic growth. For neutral football fans, it promises an eye-opening journey into the mechanics of assembling and managing a team that dares to dream of breaking into the Premier League’s exclusive elite.
With Netflix’s reputation for producing award-winning sports docuseries like Drive to Survive and Last Chance U, expectations are high that New Era: It’s Time will become must-watch viewing for football enthusiasts around the globe. As the August 15th premiere draws closer, anticipation is building — not just for the new Premier League season, but for the story behind the team determined to make it their moment.
Aston Villa’s new era is here. And the world will be watching.
