Valdosta, Georgia, home to the high school football program with the most wins in the U.S., is about to take center stage in Netflix’s Titletown High. And only ET has the exclusive trailer for the sports-centric reality series that mixes the drama of Varsity Blues and the heart of Friday Night Lights as it chronicles the many highs and lows of the Wildcats’ 2020 football season led by their controversial and infamous head coach, Rush Propst.
From the creator and executive producer of MTV’s Two-a-Days, which also followed Propst in 2006, Titletown High has unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the lives of Valdosta athletes and staff as cameras follow them on and off the field. “Full of high-stakes sports action and relatable teenage drama,” Netflix promises, “Titletown High delivers a complex portrait of the most unique football culture in America.”
In addition to Propst, who is looking for his 300th career win after being hired to replace coach Alan Rodemaker, the series tell the stories of star quarterback and California transfer Jake Garcia, the quiet leader-in-training Amari Jones, playboy Grayson Leavy, and Jacarious Peak, a hype man with lots of potential, as well as several others over the course of a pandemic-plagued season.

The trailer also includes a preview of the unreleased G-Eazy song, “Breakdown.” Featuring Demi Lovato, the track is from his forthcoming album, These Things Happen Too. “I felt like this song perfectly captures the roller coaster of emotions in the show and the intense feelings brought on by the pressures of successes and failures in life. Hearing this song with their stories brought the meaning behind the lyrics to a whole new level,” the rapper said to ET. “We’re hella excited to be a part of this series!”
