A new documentary series on the greatest swimmer of all-time, Michael Phelps, will be coming to Peacock TV ahead of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

The three-part documentary series features Phelps looking back at each race of his Olympic career with NBC Sports swimming commentators Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gaines, according to a press release.

The episodes are titled “Greatness Begins,” going back to Phelps’ first Olympics at age 15 in Sydney, “Eight Golden Races,” referencing his record at the 2008 Beijing Games, and “London to Lasting Legacy” going through his last two Olympics, and accompanying personal struggles, before retirement.

Phelps was a part of an HBO documentary last year titled The Weight of Gold, where he executive produced and narrated the film on the struggles Olympic athletes face in between Olympic appearances. Peacock TV, which was launched in 2020, also premiered In Deep With Ryan Lochte last summer to chronicle Lochte’s life after the gas station incident after the 2016 Olympics.

Peacock TV is available for free, and subscribers can pay to receive additional content.
