HBO's upcoming sports docuseries, Alex vs ARod, is gearing up for a premiere next month, revisiting the journey of iconic baseball star Alex Rodriguez. As already confirmed by Warner Bros. Discovery, the documentary will air in three parts, with each episode running around 1 hour (or longer).
The HBO project is being helmed by Gotham Chopra alongside Erik LeDrew in association with Religion of Sports. The docuseries will not only feature exclusive interviews with Alex Rodriguez but will also leave glimpses of his BTS moments on and off the pitch - a legendary career despite all the complications. The official synopsis of Alex vs ARod, per IMDb, reads:
"Alex vs A-Rod tracks baseball player Alex Rodriguez's journey from talented player to polarizing sports figure."
HBO’s synopsis reads,
From the pinnacle of athletic success to the depths of scandal, Alex Rodriguez saw his prolific baseball career marred by a high-profile suspension for performance-enhancing drug use. Told through a series of intimate interviews with Rodriguez, Alex vs ARod explores the dualities of one of the most polarizing figures in sports.
When will Alex vs ARod be released?
Alex vs ARod will be exclusively released on HBO and HBO Max on November 6, sharp at 9 p.m. ET/PT (Part I, which is 1 hour long). Part II will premiere one week later, on November 13, at the same time, but the episode will be 1 hour and 20 minutes. The third part of the HBO documentary will premiere on November 20 (release time remains the same), with a runtime of 1 hour and 15 minutes. On behalf of HBO, Lisa Heller has executive-produced the project alongside Bentley Weiner and Nancy Abraham, with Abtin Motia as supervising producer.
More about Alex vs ARod
Alex vs ARod follows the iconic career of basketball legend Alex Rodriguez, who rose to fame back in the early '90s after making his sports debut for the Seattle Mariners (1993 Major League Baseball). Alex was only 18 years old at the time, playing shortstop, and his rapid development over seven years landed him a spot with the Texas Rangers.
The contract was considered quite controversial at the time. After achieving success with the Texas Rangers, Alex got a place in the New York Yankees while gracing the pitch alongside Derek Jeter. He found stardom in a very short time, becoming a public figure who often made the front page.
But in a shocking turn of events, in 2009, Alex Rodriguez was reportedly found to have used a performance-enhancing drug in the past, which tarnished his iconic career. He also won his first championship that same year with the New York Yankees. Four years later, Alex faced a major PED suspension after a report linked him to illegal substances used to boost performance. He returned to the field after the scandal, aiming to start fresh, but his legendary career was already considered over by then.
Alex vs ARod will also feature interviews with Alex Rodriguez's family and friends, who will discuss the baseball icon's journey on the field. Hall of Famers and Alex's former MLB manager will also appear in the docuseries, sharing their insights on his rather tumultuous career. Here's a list of the executive producers who have worked on the project:
- Lindsay Shookus
- Ameeth Sankaran
- Jon Rosen
- Gotham Chopra
- Caryn Capotosto
- Victor Buhler
- Erik LeDrew (co-executive producer)
