As we inch closer to July and the 23-day glory that is the Tour de France, Netflix gives fans even more to anticipate. Their series about the tour, “Tour de France: Into the Heart of the Peloton,” is now set to be released in June, coinciding with the Critérium du Dauphiné.

What better way to build the hype for the upcoming tour than dropping it with just enough time to binge before the action kicks off in Bilbao, Spain?

A preview of the 8-part series was released Monday at Canneséries, a television festival in Cannes, France that hosts many of television’s biggest names. There it was confirmed that the show would include rare footage from team buses, hotels, and inside team cars. The producers of the series hope to truly give an inside look at the excitement and drama of World Tour racing.

VeloNews reports that in order to produce the show last year, eight teams participated in the series. Crews followed some of the key races and preparation camps ahead of the 2022 Tour de France. Producers unveiled that one episode deals specifically with Soudal Quick-Step (Quick-Step Deceuninck in 2022).

The goal, of course, is to depict real situations and how the race unfolds. But it’s also entertainment. It’s good to keep in mind that the show’s producers are always seeking out the most entertaining and high-drama moments.

We’re sure to see footage of all the key players — EF Education-EasyPost, Jumbo-Visma, TdF winner Jonas Vingegaard, Wout van Aert, Thibaut Pinot, and Groupama-FDJ.

It’s also been confirmed that negotiations are underway to create season two of the series, with a move toward more action and less of a focus on in-depth character narratives. More action from the men’s peloton sounds great to us, but you know what would be even better? A series about the women!
