Leeds United's second season of 'Take Us Home: Leeds United' will be released on September 17 through Amazon Prime.

Two new 45-minute episodes will take supporters behind the four walls at Elland Road and Thorp Arch as the Whites battle for promotion from the Championship for a second time under Marcelo Bielsa.

The Argentine's side came agonisingly close to returning to the Premier League during the 2018/19 campaign - with the first six episodes of the documentary, which was released last August, covering Bielsa's frantic first term in England.

Produced by NEO Studios and directed by The City Talking’s Lee Hicken, 'Take Us Home' is the product of two years of filming with the club and its fans.

The new episodes will give supporters the inside story on promotion to the Premier League after a 16 year absence and delve into football amid the worldwide coronavirus pandemic.

“After last year’s popularity of Take Us Home: Leeds United, we are thrilled to be able to bring Prime Video viewers a new season definitively covering the team’s historical promotion,” said Martin Backlund, Head of Content, UK for Prime Video.

“The 2019/2020 season saw not only Leeds United win a long awaited and hard earned promotion, but also documented the club through the most historic and unexpected of seasons."

The new episodes will once again be narrated by world-renowned actor and Leeds fan Russell Crowe.

He said: "I’ve loved Leeds all my life. I used to come home from playing sport when I was a kid to sit down and watch Match of the Day with my brother, and I was just hooked.

"After years of pain, seeing the white army marching on together back to the Premier League where they should be has given me nothing but pleasure. And to be able to help tell the incredible story of the past two seasons through Take Us Home has been a real honour.”
