Picture: Netflix

One of the many new Netflix sports docu-series to debut in 2023 has been handed a season 2 order. Tour de France: Unchained will return for a second season in 2024. 

Debuting on Netflix for the first time in early June 2023, Tour de France: Unchained gives you unparalleled access to behind-the-scenes of the world’s most famous cycling race. The documentary series was released in French audio with a range of subtitle and dub options, including English.

Eight episodes dropped globally (after airing on France Télévisions) on June 9th. The series featured  in the global non-English TV top 10 for a single week, picking up 8.2 million hours watched globally between June 11th and 18th.

The renewal news comes via a Tweet by Netflix France . The Tour de France followed up Netflix France’s announcement in an additional Tweet, saying :

“See you next year @NetflixFR! A series made possible thanks to @francetv and the cycling teams!”

Season 2 will follow the forthcoming 2023 Tour de France, scheduled to begin at the end of July 2023 . The event takes place over 21 stages beginning in Northern Spain and concluding in Paris; it’s been confirmed 22 teams will be competing for the grand prize.

The renewal of Tour de France: Unchained means that we’ll see the return of numerous sporting documentaries in 2023.

Who Are the Star Riders of the Netflix Tour de France Series and Will They Be Riding in the Tour This Year?

Which teams and riders from the new Tour de France show on Netflix will be lining up in the 2023 TdF?

Produced by the same crew behind the Netflix hit Drive to Survive , the series is a chain of emotional narratives that weave the athletes’ ambitions, failures, and triumphs, sometimes juxtaposed against team goals and tactics, in pursuit of the coveted yellow jersey in the 2022 Tour de France .

The series whets cycling fans’ appetite just in time for the 110th edition of the Tour de France , which is starting in a little over two weeks. The 2023 Tour will depart on July 1, 2023 in Bilbao, Spain and run through July 23,2023.

All of the pro-cycling teams featured in the Netflix show will be on deck to race for the podium again. Teams EF Education-EasyPost, Ag2r Citroën, Alpecin-Deceuninck, Groupama-FDJ, Jumbo-Visma, Bora-Hansgrohe, Ineos Grenadiers, and Soudal-Quick-Step (previously Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) have announced their rider lineup.

Which stars of the Netflix Tour de France series are expected to be in the 2023 Tour de France?

According to their respective teams, series favorites Fabio Jakobsen , Jasper Philipsen , Mathieu van der Poel , Wout van Aert , David Gaudu, Jonas Vingegaard , Thibaut Pinot and Thomas Pidcock will all be in the 2023 Tour de France peloton.

Tadej Pogačar , two time Tour de France winner , is mentioned in the series however he is not one of the stars because his team, UAE Team Emirates, opted not to participate according to a VeloNews interview.

Which Tour de France:Unchained stars will not be lining up for the Tour in July?

Primož Roglič will not be at the Tour this year after taking the top spot at Giro d’Italia a couple of weeks ago.

Jumbo-Visma Sportive Director Merijn Zeeman told the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, “I’m going to leave Primoz alone for now. Before the season we penciled in that he would also ride the Vuelta[a Espana] , so that is certainly a viable option. Primoz would also really like to ride and win Il Lombardy. He certainly has those qualities.”

Geraint Thomas , 36, finished third in the Tour last year however the Ineos Grenadiers rider opted not to clip in at this year's Tour in what could possibly be his last year racing. Thomas is dubbed an “older rider” in the series. “You were in high school before Jonas and Pogačar were born,” read a text Thomas received during the series.

Thomas competed in the Giro d’Italia and finished second behind Roglič in one of the smallest finishing gaps in history. “I’m slowly getting back into training after the Giro,” Thomas posted on Instagram .

Season Two of Tour de France:Unchained is on the way

As these riders prepare to line up, Netflix cameras will be rolling— the series was green lit for a second time and renewed before the first season was even available to viewers in the U.S. Details have not been released yet about which teams or riders will be featured in the second installment.

Though UAE Team Emirates sat out the first time around fans may get an opportunity to learn more about Pogačar in season two.

UAE Team Emirates CEO Andrea Agostini told VeloNews in 2022 that the documentary was not a priority for the team partly because an external film crew would complicate the logistics of the Tour.

Despite this concern, he left open the possibility that the team may participate in the future. “Maybe in the future, if Netflix leaves the door open for us, then we could jump in."

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour extended movie finally has a streaming home (but not on Netflix)

By reed gaudens | feb 8, 2024, 10:28 am est.

It’s been a long time coming, but Taylor Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour has now become a blockbuster in the traditional sense. As a treat to her fans around the world at the end of 2023, the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie hit the big screen in November and headed to on-demand streaming in December. But now in March 2024, the Eras Tour movie will have an official streaming home.

Swift first began the sprawling record-breaking trek in March 2023 in Glendale, Arizona, and completed the first North American leg of the successful tour in August 27 in Mexico City. She finished the 2023 leg of the tour in South America in November before hopping across the pond in 2024 and concluding in Canada in November 2024. When it’s all said and done, she will have played almost 150 shows.

The three-hour runtime of the Eras Tour takes fans on a journey through Taylor Swift’s 10-album catalog of music and has been celebrated with two surprise songs each show, Taylor’s Version album release announcements, and all kinds of special moments to scream about. Now, we can relive it all again at the movies . But will the concert movie be on Netflix?

Where to watch the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie

Unfortunately, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film won’t be making its premiere on Netflix. While the Grammy-winning superstar’s previous concert film, Taylor Swift’s Reputation Stadium Tour, was previously available on Netflix alongside her Miss Americana documentary, The Eras Tour won't be coming to Netflix. Rather, Swift announced the concert film will be on Disney+ beginning March 15, 2024 .

The new cut of the film, which is aptly dubbed Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version), will contain all of the songs featured in the previous cut released on-demand as well as five additional songs, including her No. 1 hit single "Cardigan" from her album Folklore . The other four songs to be added to the film are expected to be "Death By a Thousand Cuts" from Lover, "Maroon" from Midnights, "You Are In Love" from 1989, and "I Can See You" from Speak Now (Taylor's Version) . These were the other songs performed during the acoustic "surprise song" set at the two additional Los Angeles shows that were filmed for the movie.

On Nov. 27, 2023, Swift announced on her social media accounts that an extended version of The Eras Tour movie would be released for on-demand streaming on her birthday, Wednesday, Dec. 13 in the United States, Canada, and other territories. The extended version includes the songs “Wildest Dreams” from 1989, “The Archer" from Lover, and “Long Live" from Speak Now . The streaming release in December will be for rent , not purchase, on Apple TV, Vudu, Prime Video, Xfinity, Google Play, and YouTube.

The Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie previously released in AMC and Cinemark theaters beginning on Friday, Oct. 13, 2023. According to Deadline, the film first played on the following dates: Oct. 13-15, Oct. 19-22 , Oct. 26-29, Oct. 31 and Nov. 2-5. Fittingly the tickets were priced at $13.13 (child) and $19.89 (adult) — if you know, you know. The film later had a wider release around the world and has made over $250 million worldwide .

How Alexa Pano went from Netflix star to the LPGA Tour

Paul Devlin

Y ou might recognize me from “The Short Game,” the Netflix documentary about the U.S. Kids World Championships. I was 7 years old, and in it, I said I wanted to be the first woman to play in a tournament at Augusta National. Seven-year-old me was pretty close to predicting the future.

My dad, a former collegiate football player and coach, will tell you softball was my best sport, but I loved golf from the start. We lived on Sherbrooke Country Club in Florida, the same course the Koepka brothers played. Brooks was already in college, but his brother, Chase, played in the high school matches that my dad took me to when I was 5. Watching him hit it far and compete hard made me want to be a competitive golfer, too.

I started playing tournaments when I was 5. U.S. Kids Golf approached my dad about the documentary and asked if I’d be in it. Filming gave me a lot of confidence. Before, I was so shy. When greeting people at golf courses, I’d turn my head away as I said hello. The attention afterward was kind of crazy. I was on Jimmy Fallon’s and Katie Couric’s shows. When I was 11, I received a sponsor’s exemption to a Japan LPGA Tour event.

When the Drive, Chip & Putt was announced, I was excited. I qualified and played in the inaugural event at Augusta National in 2014. At Augusta, I was shaking over the ball, but in 2016 and 2017, I won my age group. Although we didn’t actually play the course, that dream came true five years later when I competed in the inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Seven-year-old Alexa would have been proud.

I went to middle school in the morning, got out at noon and went to the range. There were these massive buckets that were so big I could barely carry them. For hours I hit wedges at a target green 100 yards away. Then I’d go home and do the rest of my school virtually. I switched to homeschooling for high school. I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything.

Jensen Larson

Colleges started recruiting me when I was 11, which was flattering, but I focused on playing well in junior tournaments. I won five U.S. Kids Golf World Championships, was on winning Junior Ryder Cup and Junior Solheim Cup teams, finished runner-up at the U.S. Girls Junior and was co-medalist at the U.S. Women’s Amateur. I realized I wouldn’t go to college. I wanted to turn pro.

During the summer of 2021, I was 16 years old and planned on turning pro the next spring. Then, I got the driver yips. I had always been a strong driver, but suddenly I couldn’t control it. My coach, Chris O’Connell, helped me build a repeatable swing. It’s not glamorous, but I hit thousands of balls to drill that motion. It took almost a year, but now my driver is the club that I’m most confident with. Conquering the driver yips is the thing I’m most proud of.

The transition to pro golf was hard. It helped that my dad was caddieing for me on the Epson Tour, but having your dad on the bag is not for the weak. He knows my game better than anyone, but because we’re so close, it’s easy to argue, and emotions can run hot. Once in 2022, I had essentially won an Epson tournament in Kinston, N.C., until I hit a bad drive and went for the green on a hole that I didn’t need to. I did it because my dad encouraged me to. That mistake sent the tournament to a playoff, and I lost. I was mad about that for a long time.

I played well that season and earned my LPGA Tour card for 2023 at Q Series. I struggled at first on tour. The hardest thing was managing my time. How can I get all the work done while still being rested? I missed a bunch of cuts early in the season. To get through that rough patch, I needed to manage expectations, stay patient and realize an adjustment period was normal.

Later that season, at the ISPS Handa World Invitational in Ireland, I needed birdie to tie the lead on the final hole. I was in the rough, a long way to the green. I asked my dad 15 times: “Are you sure going for it is the shot? Don’t just tell me it’s the shot. You have to really mean it because I’m going to be pissed if this doesn’t work this time.” I hit a great shot and made birdie to force a playoff, which I won for my first LPGA Tour victory. My dad looked at me and said, “I don’t ever want to hear about Kinston, N.C., ever again!”

I’ve grown up in golf with a lot of expectations on me, but I wouldn’t have done it any other way. I’m still addicted to the intensity of competition that only golf can provide. Each week, I’m going to keep doing the same thing: Fight to get back in the winner’s circle. — with Keely Levins

Ben O'Connor goes from emotional irritation at Tour de France to Vuelta a España contender

By Simon Smale

Topic: Road Cycle Racing

Julien Jurdie, manager of the then-called AG2R Citroën cycling team, looks straight down the camera.

He is telling viewers of Netflix's fly-on-the-wall cycling series, Tour de France: Unchained, about his team leader, West Australian Ben O'Connor.

"Ben is an aggressive rider with a strong character," Jurdie says, before leaving an almost imperceptible pause.

"Who sometimes struggles to control his emotions."

The following episodes of the show, which hopes to do for cycling what Drive to Survive did for Formula 1, leave viewers in no doubt about O'Connor's temperament.

With a liberal attitude to dropping f-bombs that marks him as Australian more than his accent ever could, O'Connor is not shown in the best of lights, to put it mildly.

A kind observer would say O'Connor exhibits signs that he has a lot to learn.

Steve Chainel, a former pro who acts as a buffer between the on-screen action and the audience, poses the question: "Is he (O'Connor) psychologically capable of taking all that pressure [of being team leader at the Tour de France]?"

The following scene shows O'Connor sliding into the team bus before letting rip with an almighty "F***".

It was not the only example.

"We are working with Ben so he can control his emotions when things go wrong," Jurdie tells the camera at one stage, with coach Stephen Barrett adding that O'Connor "deals with pressure in a different way".

"Sometimes he just has to have a release valve where the emotions just come out," Barrett says.

The insinuation is obvious.

Is Ben O'Connor psychologically capable of taking all that pressure?

And yet now, a year later, O'Connor is leader of the Vuelta a España, the third of cycling's three grand tours.

From red mist to red jersey

Only five Australians have ever worn the leader's jersey at the Vuelta — currently red, having previously been a kaleidoscope of different colours ranging from orange to gold to white to yellow.

O'Connor's dominant, staggeringly impressive victory on stage six made him just the 13th Australian to win a stage at the Vuelta.

The manner of that victory, where O'Connor found himself in a breakaway before soloing 28 kilometres to claim victory by four minutes, 33 seconds ahead of second place and a whopping six minutes, 31 seconds ahead of the red jersey group, was staggeringly similar to another of his grand tour victories, at the Tour de France in 2021.

There, after an early crash knocked him well out of overall contention, O'Connor rebounded on stage nine by soloing around 20km up to the resort of Tignes , claiming stage victory by five minutes and seven seconds (and six minutes ahead of the yellow jersey group) to leap from 14th to second overall behind Tadej Pogačar.

Jonas Vingegaard and Richard Carapaz eventually overtook the West Australian to push him down to fourth overall , but that stunning victory lived long in O'Connor's memory — he referenced it during the Tour documentary as being an indication he was a good rider.

But being a good rider is not always enough.

O'Connor's tendency towards volatility was shown in full during the iconic stage up the Puy de Dôme in the 2023 Tour de France where, with the towering volcanic plug looming in the distance, O'Connor cracked — physically and mentally.

"F***! F***! F***!" he screamed into his race radio.

Needless to say, his colleagues in the car were not impressed.

"It's so annoying when he does that," manager Vincent Lavenu muttered in the team car.

Later, O'Connor is shown asking "what's the point" of continuing to ride hard when urged on by his team car, when he was already plummeting down the general classification rankings.

After the climb, Lavenu tells O'Connor to get changed before riding back down the mountain. "No, I'm not f***ing getting changed," O'Connor says, speeding by.

"He's irritating," Lavenu said.

"Even when he's going all out, he finds the time to grab the mic and go, 's***, f***, s***, f***'. I don't know why he does it. He should just be pedalling.

"I mean, he can scream out loud but not in the mic, you know? It's useless.

"He has a setback, he questions everything.

"He gets carried away and then he's just ruled by his emotions.

"The sponsors won't pay for a rider who gives up like that, I'm sorry."

Racehorse, leader, father

Earlier in the series, Lavenu described O'Connor as a racehorse.

"Ben is the first to be disappointed when things don't go well. Ben is an emotional, appreciative kid who is anxious like all top-level athletes," he said.

"Racehorses are never calm, are they?"

And yet, in Spain O'Connor has appeared to be relaxed — in as far as one can be when racing in scorching hot conditions on a route that appears to be looking to find every upward slope it can cram into each day.

His stage six victory put the West Australian into the lead of the race by four minutes and 51 seconds from three-time winner, Primož Roglič.

Just two days later, Roglič gained more than a minute back on O'Connor in a brutal show of strength on the punishing, sun-drenched slopes to Cazorla.

But, after that, O'Connor hit back, fighting hard to claim bonus seconds on the final climb of stage nine to push his lead out to three minutes, 53 seconds.

That's not the sign of a man on the brink.

But neither should he be.

Prior to the Vuelta getting underway, O'Connor's wife Sarah gave birth to the couple's first child.

O'Connor has previously said Sarah keeps him focused when she is with him, but some pros have suggested in interviews that becoming a father has given O'Connor superpowers.

Jack Haig told CyclingNews that O'Connor was a "really good rider" and that the peloton had "underestimated him" by allowing him so much extra time.

"He's been fourth in the Tour and he's maybe having the best season of his career. He's just become a father as well, so perhaps that's a part of it, too,

"It may be quite hard to shift him from the red jersey and especially the podium."

O'Connor reaching his potential

Lost in the utter dominance of Pogačar's historic Giro d'Italia victory , O'Connor rode a superbly mature race to finish in fourth spot, just over 90 seconds outside the podium.

There was nothing spectacular about it — aside from calling the organisers dinosaurs — just solid, honest riding that saw the 28-year-old claim four top-10 stage finishes and hold his fourth place all the way from stage seven through to the finish.

Overall, just two Aussies have ever finished on the final general classification podium at the Vuelta: Cadel Evans in 2009 and Jack Haig in 2021 .

In fact, an Australian has only ever stood on the podium of any grand tour nine times, illustrating the scale of the task that O'Connor is attempting.

Before this year's Giro, O'Connor wrote in a column for rouleur.cc that he was aiming for the podium.

"I think I am a decent athlete, a good rider, and if I perform like I believe I can do, I think I can also get a podium in a grand tour," he wrote.

"I don't care whether it's the Giro, Tour or the Vuelta, if you can finish on the podium in one of them, you can do it in all three."

Before getting too carried away, it should be stated that there is an awfully long way to go at this Vuelta.

Two weeks' worth of staggeringly hard racing, with 11 of the remaining 12 stages described as at least hilly, with most mountainous, before a time trial in Madrid which favours O'Connor's rivals far more than him, means even a podium position is a long way off.

But O'Connor remains confident.

"I'm not that nervous, to be honest," O'Connor told media during the rest day. 

"It was so incredibly unexpected. I never dared to think that I would wear the red jersey.

"There are a lot of GC riders, but only a few get the chance to wear a leaders jersey. I didn't necessarily consider myself one of those contenders, so this is extra nice. It also takes the pressure off me."

He said it was up to others to attack him, meaning he could continue to lean on Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale teammate Felix Gall.

"I feel pretty good after nine tough and, above all, hot days. It was an aggressive race, but I like that."

The ABC of SPORT

María Zardoya, of the Marías, chooses to relive her breakup every night

• Copy Link URL Copied!

The chanting crowd’s “otra” wanes as a singular spotlight illuminates María Zardoya. The Marías’ frontwoman lies in a translucent bathtub, microphone in hand and partially submerged in its warm water. The somber piano of “If Only,” a ballad off their sophomore album, “Submarine,” fills the entire Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Zardoya’s voice takes on a melancholic, siren-like quality, while a trumpet adds a noir jazz accent to the eerie display.

As the song’s final notes linger, the 29-year-old singer retreats into the portable body of water, sinking her head well below its surface. Muffling out her surroundings, she says she’s taken back to the exact moments of heartbreak that inspired the L.A.-based band’s latest project, “Submarine,” released in May. The record is an unambiguous look into the romantic breakup between the group’s founders, singer and lyricist Zardoya and Josh Conway, drummer and producer.

Prior to creating the aquatic ethos of “Submarine,” the band was uncertain if they could make it past such a drastic change in dynamics. But with a dedication to vulnerability and their craft, the foursome — Zardoya, Conway, guitarist Jesse Perlman and keyboardist Edward James — were able to overcome this shift and create one of the summer’s most notorious breakup albums.

Ahead of the Submarine tour’s second L.A. show, I met the Puerto Rican-born singer backstage, in a shaded tent. Small in stature, she wears a floor-length dress with a large floral detail at its center. As she drinks out of an official Marías water bottle that reads “María’s Bathwater” — a layered joke shared between the group and their fan base — she recalls the exact moment she felt the group had passed the breakup test. It was during their show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, a few weeks prior. The stage setup allowed the singer to go up onto a platform, where she could perform from a new vantage point.

“I had never seen that perspective of the stage before because I’m usually on it. I could see the guys below and I got super emotional and started crying a little bit. I was like, ‘Boys, like, we did it,’” said Zardoya. “It was such a beautiful moment because we overcame so much together and it feels like a family now. We’re stronger than ever.”

But this unified feeling among the band didn’t happen overnight.

Meet Fuerza Regida, the hardest-working act in música Mexicana

Since 2015, Fuerza Regida has been one of the hardest-working acts in música Mexicana. With “Pero No Te Enamores,” the band’s eighth studio album, it’s evolving the genre.

Aug. 28, 2024

The Marías, formed in 2016, found their niche in alternative music early in their career. The experimental indie track “Only in My Dreams” and the bilingual, requited love anthem “Cariño” cemented their reputation as up-and-comers. Ever since the beginning, the group has relied on a certain kind of duality to set them apart. As Zardoya pens her lyrics in both English and Spanish, Conway was quick to incorporate Latin influences to create a more accurate representation of who they are sonically — putting a unique spin on what could’ve been cookie-cutter indie music.

“I introduced him to so much Latin music. From just being around my family, the music and the culture, he picked up on things pretty quickly,” Zardoya said. “He knew that it was important for me to showcase this part of who I am. So when he started making this mix of reggaeton and indie psychedelic, things got really interesting.”

They continued to carve their path in the alternative space with their Grammy-nominated debut album, “Cinema,” in 2021. Their mesmerizing infusion of soulful rock, dreamy pop and Latin rhythms has stayed consistent, yet still inventive over the band’s nine years together. They have even collaborated with fellow Latin musicians Bad Bunny, Young Miko and Tainy.

“We’ve been listening to the Marías since we were young kids in junior high, and integrating Spanish into their genre means a lot to us,” said Andres Garcia, a longtime fan who attended the L.A. show. “I love how the Marías have still been able to stick to the indie genre while still being who they are. It’s something that I notice a lot of Latino indie artists are doing now.”

During the Hollywood performance, Zardoya called out for her “Latino family” and started to list various Latin American countries to see who was represented. The lead singer says she is thankful to share the “experience of being Latin in the U.S.” with her fans. Each night on the Submarine tour, Zardoya makes a point to walk through the crowd while singing. As people push and shove to get a glimpse of the lace-cladden vocalist, she is reminded that performing “makes all the moments of heartbreak [behind ‘Submarine’] worth it.”

“Submarine” is deeply rooted in the idea of tragic love. No matter how upbeat or funky, the tracks may sound — all its lyrics come back to a life-altering heartbreak. “Love You Anyway,” a psychedelic rock-infused track, is centered around the lyrics, “I know that you’ve always been in love with me / But I know that you’ve also had to watch me leave” — directly referencing that the two will always be in love, but have to accept not being together. The dreamy yet heart-wrenching “Sienna” transports listeners to another timeline where things work out between Zardoya and Conway, and they have a child named Sienna who “would’ve been cute” and “would look just like you.”

Zardoya says writing the album was one of the most humbling experiences. After the seven-year relationship, she says she was forced to look at life differently. During those challenging moments of growth, she turned to Buddhism.

“What’s changed the most with me is the beauty of embracing the present moment. Nothing lasts forever. The only thing that exists is right here, right now,” Zardoya says. “That’s helped me, even on tour, in the sense of just taking it one thing at a time and not seeing the big picture.”

After focusing so much emotional labor into “Submarine,” Zardoya was under the impression that sharing it with the world might help her move on. But after performing its personal contents on tour, she finds herself “reliving a trauma” night after night.

“It kind of depends on the night. Some nights I’m like, f— this. I’m tired of dreaming about this. I’m tired of thinking about this. I don’t wanna keep reliving this drama,” Zardoya said. “Then other times I’m like, ‘Thank God I went through it.’ It humbled me as a person. It made me more thankful for life and more tolerant of difficult experiences.”

Walking a fine line between emotional exhaustion and being gracious, she’s accepted that the aftermath of her breakup will be longer than the typical person who isn’t in a band with their ex-boyfriend. As she retells the highs and lows of the relationship through the nightly set list, she’s faced with a decision.

“I want to emit the emotion of these songs. And in order to get there, I have to reexperience what the song is about. It’s a choice,” says Zardoya. “I could choose to just sing the song and work on moving on from the situation. But I want to feel everything and I want the fans to feel it. Because what’s the point if you’re not?”

‘La Bamba’ is getting a remake. Luis Valdez isn’t sure why

Nearly 40 years after its theatrical release, ‘La Bamba’ is being remade, but the film’s original director and writer questions why rock ’n’ roll star Ritchie Valens’ life is being told, again.

Aug. 27, 2024

With only a few more stops in the U.S., the Marías will take the Submarine tour to Europe in late October. But the band still has plans for “Submarine,” Zardoya reveals that they will release a follow-up EP to the album. Some of the EP’s songs were written alongside the album while others were written after its release, but still belong to the same world.

“I’d say you’re still feeling like you’re underwater, but even more solitude,” says Zardoya. “There’s no bangers. They’re all, like, ‘crying in the club’ songs.”

As the last notes of “Cariño,” the final song in their set, ring out, Zardoya makes a dash toward the end of the stage. She jumps headfirst into the sea of overjoyed fans, with the intention of crowd surfing. The front section of the venue raises their hands high, in preparation to catch the singer. As the rest of the band continues to play, she is passed through the condensed audience — with a smile that can be seen from the crowd’s edges. Instead of the typical breakup comforts, like watching cheesy rom-coms or having a girl’s night out, Zardoya finds her greatest comfort in the hands of her listeners.

Tour de France Netflix series confirmed for third season

Unchained series renewed with upcoming season to cover 2024 Tour

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

Tour de France: Unchained , the Netflix documentary series following cycling's biggest race, has been renewed for a third season. 

The announcement was made by Netflix's official French social media accounts on Wednesday morning, with the tagline "We're off on another Tour!". 

A post shared by Netflix France (@netflixfr) A photo posted by on

Created as a joint venture between production companies Quadbox and Box to Box Films, the series sees camera crews embed within teams at the Tour de France , offering behind-the-scenes footage. 

In the first season, which was released in June 2023 and followed the 2022 edition of the race, the teams included: Jumbo-Visma, Ineos Grenadiers, Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl, AG2R Citroën, Groupama-FDJ, Alpecin-Deceuninck and EF Education-EasyPost. 

The second season went live on the streaming platform last month, and included two key additions, counting exclusive interviews with two-time Tour champion Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and all-time stage win record holder Mark Cavendish (Astana-Qazaqstan).  

After watching all eight episodes of the latest season, Cycling Weekly news editor Adam Becket concluded it is a " must watch " and provides "great insight into the biggest bike race of them all". 

The series has, however, come under criticism for its spotlighting of crashes , particularly in its trailers, the latest of which included a snippet of Jayco AlUla rider Lucas Hamilton somersaulting over a road barrier at the 2022 Itzulia Basque Country.

At the time of the release of the first season , Yann le Moënner, CEO of ASO, the organiser of the Tour de France, said: "We are proud of this partnership with Netflix, France Télévisions and the Tour de France teams, which will offer fans a unique immersion behind the scenes. 

"Through a narrative approach, which is additive to the competition itself, the public will be able to discover how the Tour de France represents the ultimate challenge for the competitors; in particular in terms of suffering, pushing their limits and team spirit. 

"This project is part of our overall ambition to make our sport more accessible and meet an even wider audience."

The second season of Unchained appeared to reveal tensions over leadership within Ineos Grenadiers at the 2023 Tour de France. " I was portrayed as the bad guy ," said Tom Pidcock after its release. "It just makes a drama, you know, and it's not even in chronological order." 

Although the participating teams are yet to be confirmed for the upcoming third season, Cycling Weekly has seen camera crews following Ineos Grenadiers and Astana-Qazaqstan, among others, at this year's race. 

Already, there have been some historic narratives at this year's Tour de France, with Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) becoming the first black African to win a stage , and Cavendish breaking the stage win record . 

It is unknown when the upcoming season of Unchained will be released, although it is expected in June 2024. 

Cycling Weekly also understands that discussions are going on over a potential series following the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift

Drop everything now!

If there's one artist who has managed to dominate the music industry (and the rest of the world), it's Taylor Swift .

After releasing her album Midnights in late 2022 and her latest re-recording, 1989 (Taylor's Version) in October 2023, Taylor made a surprise announcement that her upcoming album The Tortured Poets Department drops April 19 — ensuring Swifties will have no lack of new music from the artist.

On top of all that, fans in the United States were also treated to the time of their lives when Taylor hit the road last summer for her mega-successful Eras tour . Concert-goers dressed up as their favorite Taylor era and traded friendship bracelets while scream-crying her lyrics throughout the three-hour show.

Those who were lucky enough to see Taylor live then had the chance to re-live the experience, thanks to The Eras Tour movie which hit theaters in October 2023. Others jumped at the opportunity to experience the live concert footage for the first time, and CNBC reported that the movie pulled in a whopping $92.8 million during its opening weekend.

Whether you didn't catch the film in theaters or you just love the idea of enjoying a concert from your couch, you may be wondering how you can watch and stream Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie online. Get ready to live your wildest dreams, because we're sharing everything to know about where to watch and stream Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour movie.

Can I watch and stream Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour movie online?

Presently, fans can rent The Eras Tour film on digital streaming sites like Amazon Prime Video , Apple TV , YouTubeTV and Google Play . The streaming version of the movie is technically an extended play of the one screened in theaters, so you will get to watch bonus songs that weren't originally featured: "No Body No Crime," "Cardigan," "Long Live," "The Archer" and "Wildest Dreams."

While it's true that you'll have to spend some cash to watch the film at home, Taylor did something that eagle-eyed Swifties are ecstatic about. As the singer's birth year is 1989, she made the film on every streamer available to rent for just $19.89 .

'The Eras Tour (Extended Version)'

If you've been waiting for the opportunity to stream The Eras Tour movie for free on an existing platform, you'll drop everything over the latest news. Just days after Taylor won the Album of the Year honor at the 2024 Grammys, she revealed on Instagram that The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version) will officially stream starting March 15 on Disney+ .

"This week is truly the best kind of chaos," she announced on February 7. "I’m thrilled to let you know I’ve found a streaming home for The Eras Tour Concert Film, and that home will be @disneyplus. For the first time we’ll be showing the entire concert (including 'Cardigan', plus 4 additional songs from the acoustic section!!) and I’m calling it, huge shock, 'Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version).' Available starting March 15 which is actually very 🔜😆🫶."

Mark your calendars now, because when the time comes for The Eras Tour concert movie to drop on Disney+, you'll want to make sure you're all set for the special event. If you don't have an account yet, the streamer offers plans that start at $7.99 per month. Once you create a profile, just head on over to the title page on Disney+'s website or on the Disney+ app .

Just in case you need even more Taylor content to hold you over, you can stream her intimate concert documentary, folklore: the long pond studio sessions on Disney+ right now.
