Ben Stiller Announces Multi-Part New York Knicks Documentary
The multi-part series will trace the franchise’s history and culture and include unprecedented NBA access, A24 said.
- On Wednesday, actor and superfan Ben Stiller confirmed he is directing a multi-part documentary series about the New York Knicks for HBO and A24, announcing the project on Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart's 'Roommates Show' podcast.
- Stiller began filming on his iPhone courtside during the team's postseason run, though the documentary will trace the full history of the franchise rather than just the 2026 championship, covering eras from the 1970s to the present.
- The project culminates with the Knicks' first championship in 53 years, secured in Game 5 by defeating the San Antonio Spurs 94-90, a victory that drew 24.5M viewers across ABC and ESPN.
- Production on the series will continue over the next year, with Stiller planning additional filming during the 2026-27 NBA season, while A24 promises the series will offer 'unprecedented NBA access' and never-before-seen footage.
- Describing the project as a 'dream project,' Stiller aims to capture the franchise's enduring legacy, positioning the Knicks' recent championship alongside their 1970s championships and 1990s playoff runs.
