Netflix announce new season of hit football show after four years sending fans into meltdown as they shout ‘here we go!’

FOOTBALL fans are over the moon after it was confirmed Sunderland 'Til I Die will return for one last season next month.

The hit documentary series was first released by Netflix in December 2018, before a second season came out two years later.

It follows the ups and downs of Sunderland as viewers are given a behind-the-scenes look into the workings of the football club.

Now, after a four-year spell away from the screen, it is coming back on February 13 for a third and final edition.

And fans on social media were beside themselves with glee at the announcement.

One said: "The first and the best of this genre."

Another added: "OH YES HERE WE GO! 5-1 and the Alex Neil saga 🤩��."

A third replied: "Can’t bloody wait."

A fourth responded: "Still the best football documentary, despite some strong competition since it aired. Hope this series is as entertaining as the first two 🤞🏻."

While a fifth said: "I am so ready for season 3 of Sunderland 'Til I Die 😅."

Sunderland 'Til I Die was the first behind-the-scenes football documentary of its kind.

Since then, Amazon Prime have developed their own "All or Nothing" series that has followed Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal.

"Welcome to Wrexham" was also developed on Disney following the arrival of Hollywood A-Listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to the Welsh club.

Since the second season of Sunderland 'Til I Die aired in April 2020, the club have been promoted from League One to the Championship.

They have also sacked four managers, with current head coach Michael Beale taking over last month.
