In 2024, the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs aimed to make history by becoming the first NFL team to win three straight Super Bowls. "The Kingdom" – a new six-part ESPN Original Series – chronicles the Chiefs’ dramatic pursuit of a three-peat, the legacy of the franchise, and the unforgettable characters who built its modern-day football dynasty.
Filmed over the course of the 2024 season, including having unprecedented access into the players' lives on and off the field, follow the Chiefs' journey as the club completed a franchise-record 15-win regular season, captured a third-consecutive Lamar Hunt Trophy as AFC champions, and made a third-straight Super Bowl appearance. The remarkable run builds upon nearly a decade of tremendous success, during which the team made the playoffs every year (2015-24), won the AFC West Division title nine years running (2016-24), appeared in the AFC Championship Game seven years in a row (2018-24), and ultimately made five Super Bowl appearances over the past six years, raising the hallowed Vince Lombardi Trophy three times.
Behind Patrick Mahomes, whose journey from son of a baseball player to superstar quarterback is already legendary, the Chiefs - one of the NFL's most storied franchises - kick off their bid for a third straight Super Bowl title. But a rash of injuries threaten their strong start to the 2024 season and raise serious concerns about the challenging road ahead.
Guided by a resolve never to judge anyone else and a firm belief in second chances, legendary Chiefs coach Andy Reid has leaned on family bonds to sustain him through the highs of victory and the lows of unthinkable tragedy. As the 2024 season continues, injuries and new additions engender major question marks.
In the most anticipated game of the regular season, the Chiefs square off against AFC rivals Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Meanwhile beyond the field, the team works to maintain focus, a difficult task considering their dominance and global popularity have earned them love and hate in equal measure.
An ankle injury to Patrick Mahomes puts more pressure - and the team's Super Bowl hopes - on the shoulders of Chris Jones and the Chiefs' defense. A Christmas Day showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers has major postseason implications.
With Chiefs Kingdom in full-throated support, Kansas City earns a home playoff win against the Texans. Their reward: an AFC Championship Game rematch with the Buffalo Bills, with a third straight trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
The Chiefs arrive in New Orleans on the verge of Super Bowl history. Standing in the way of their three-peat hopes are the Philadelphia Eagles, who have no intention of playing supporting characters in a storybook ending.
