Bayern Munich has made a trend of releasing documentaries lately. After releasing documentaries on the title triumph of 2023, the rollercoaster of a season that the 2023/24 season and the infamous high and lows between 2011-13 (“Generation Wembley”) among others, Bayern are looking back further into the past for this next documentary, via @iMiaSanMia:
“FC Hollywood”, a new 5-episode documentary will be broadcast on [television broadcaster] ZDF in early 2025 about FC Bayern in the 90s. It covers “the most exciting and turbulent phase” of the club. The focus is on the years 1996 to 2001, into which the likes of Lothar Matthäus, Jürgen Klinsmann, Mario Basler and Stefan Effenberg provide insights on “how a group of individualists became a team that laid the foundation for the club’s current success”.
The time period given suggests the documentary will cover both Bayern’s agonizing last minute loss in the Champions League to Manchester United, as well as the cathartic victory over Valencia in the same competition two years later. However, these events may just be side adventures in the documentary to the drama unfolding within the club at that time. Bayern earned the nickname “FC Hollywood” long ago and have proven time and time again that the club deserves it, for better or for worse. They might as well use it to create actual Hollywood content themselves.
