Following the success of its Formula 1 documentary, F1: Drive to Survive, Netflix has turned its eyes to the world of tennis with Break Point.
The show follows an array of tennis players, all of whom are rising in the ranks across the ATP and WTA tours.
Netflix released the first half of the docuseries on January 13, and teased that there was more to come, so viewers will no doubt be wondering when the show is expected to return.
Here is everything we know so far.
When Will ‘Break Point’ Part 2 Come to Netflix? Tennis Series Release Plan
Break Point Part 1 landed on Netflix on January 13, 2023 just in time for the start of the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam tournament of the year.
The first part consists of five episodes in total, and the second half will feature another five episodes, Netflix has confirmed.
Netflix has revealed that the documentary will return in June 2023, at which point the remaining five episodes will premiere on the streaming platform.
A specific date has not been confirmed by Netflix, however the timing is certainly apt in the tennis season, as fans of the sport likely realize, as June 2023 is the month that is closest to two Grand Slam tournaments: Roland Garros in Paris, France, and Wimbledon in London, U.K.
Roland Garros will take place from May 28 to June 11, while Wimbledon begins on Monday, July 3 in 2023.
So, although Netflix has not shared its planned release date for Break Point Part 2 it is unlikely to be chance that they’ve chosen June to release new episodes.
It could be that episodes are released while Roland Garros is on or just before Wimbledon begins, perhaps on Friday, June 30.
Netflix will confirm further release details for Break Point later in the year.
Which Tennis Players Appear in ‘Break Point’?
Break Point puts the spotlight on various tennis players on the rise in both the ATP and WTA tours, highlighting that some of the global icons of the sport, like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams, are reaching the twilight of their careers.
