Since then, HBO has featured a different team at each training camp, with the Chicago Bears scheduled to appear this summer.
This will give fans the opportunity to see the progression of first overall draft pick Caleb Williams up close.
However, the series will now also return during the regular season.
The network and the NFL announced Monday that this winter Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North will premiere.
The docu-series will give fans a look at the respective seasons of the Ravens – who won the division in 2023 led by two-time MVP Lamar Jackson – Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns.
The first episode will be available on December 3rd at 9pm ET.
Episodes will be released weekly on Tuesdays for the remainder of the regular season and during the Playoffs.
NFL Films vice president and head of content Keith Cossrow said via a press release that after all four AFC North teams finished with winning records in 2023, it made it “the perfect place to launch this new approach to ‘Hard Knocks'”.
