Announcement
Apple TV today announced “The Dynasty: UConn Huskies,” a three‑part docuseries about the University of Connecticut women’s basketball program.
Premiere Details
In 2024, Apple TV premiered The Dynasty: New England Patriots, a 10‑part documentary about the Patriots’ Brady, Belichick, and Kraft era.
The new series chronicles the last four decades of UConn women’s basketball under coach Geno Auriemma.
In 1985, the UConn women’s basketball program had just one winning season. What followed was a transformation led by Auriemma and defined by an iconic lineage of players — from Rebecca Lobo and Swin Cash to Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore and Breanna Stewart — establishing the Huskies as the gold standard of college basketball. UConn has won 12 national championships, more than any other team, men or women, in NCAA Division I history.
Under Auriemma’s leadership, the program built a culture of discipline, accountability, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence. The series will explore that culture, the demands, tensions, and personal costs of maintaining such a high standard.
Apple says the series will tell the story across three episodes through exclusive interviews, never‑before‑seen archival footage, and “intimate access to players, coaches, alumni and more.” The series is set to premiere August 21.
