Earlier today, Netflix dropped the trailer for the first season of Last Chance U: Basketball. The show is what was an unexpected jump from covering junior college football to hoops. From the trailer, there is a lot to be excited about. Let’s go over what the series is and what to expect..

Last Chance U debuted in 2016 documenting something many people might not have known about: junior college football. Over its five seasons, the show made stops at East Missisippi Community College, Independence Community College, and Laney College. Last Chance U became a beloved and popular show.

You could credit this to the niche subject matter. However, it was also incredibly well-produced and directed. Those who tuned in got to meet an entire community. Teachers, guidance counselors, and members of the city were all given a spotlight. Nobody knew that Scooba, MS or Independence, KS even existed before they watched the series.

The way that Last Chance U covered the program made it so much more than a football. Viewers got to know so many players on a deep, personal level. They saw raw, unfiltered emotion. They saw players earn scholarships – and players see their career end. When it came to the games, every matchup left you on the edge of your seat.

By the end of Season 4 – having endured two years of Jason Brown and Indy – the show needed a switch. While football is exciting, it felt repetitive at times. The producers wanted a challenge. Last Chance U ended on a high note with Laney College and John Beam in Season 5.

As shown in the trailer, Season 1 of Last Chance U will cover the East Los Angeles College Huskies. Head Coach John Mosley seems to be a Juwan Howard-type of coach. He is a friend and mentor to his players. They trust him. He is a younger coach who can relate better to the team.
