Prime Video has released a first-look at Meet the Owens, a six-part docuseries premiering on the streaming platform in the UK and Ireland on August 28th. Produced by Whisper, Meet the Owens follows a year in the life of former England striker Michael Owen, his wife Louise, and their four children.

Since retiring from a Ballon d’Or-winning football career – playing for the clubs including Liverpool, Newcastle United, Real Madrid, Manchester United and more – Michael Owen, as well as being a TV football pundit and commentator, has built a horse racing business to compete at the biggest events in the world, but running a successful racing operation has never been more challenging. At home, he and wife are preparing for life as empty nesters: youngest Jessica dreams of becoming a showjumping Olympic champion; Emily, 18, is trying to become the first Owen to go to university; and James, 20, who has a degenerative eye condition, wants to join the family business. Meanwhile, eldest daughter Gemma, a presenter and equestrian with millions of social media followers, is balancing her media career with an ambitious new challenge. Training at her dad’s stables, she has her sights set on racing at Glorious Goodwood. The trailer can be viewed here.

Meet the Owens is directed by Emmy nominated Chris Wallwork and produced by Chris Grubb, Drew Masters, Will Yapp, Christian Cerami, Mark Cole and Whisper co-founders Jake Humphrey & Sunil Patel.

All six episodes of Meet the Owens will be available to stream on Prime Video from August 28th.
