The controversial reason HBO dropped Bill Belichick’s UNC show


A new docuseries following Bill Belichick’s return to coaching – this time with the University of North Carolina Tar Heels- is set to stream on Hulu. The series, produced by EverWonder Studio, will give fans an inside look at 73-year-old Belichick’s transition from NFL legend to college football head coach for the first time in his storied career. But behind the scenes, controversy has swirled around the influence of his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.

Jordon Hudson’s role in Belichick’s Hulu project

Belichick parted ways with the New England Patriots in early 2024 after 24 seasons, six Super Bowl titles, and 302 career wins. His new challenge? Rebuilding a UNC team that went 6–7 last season. Early signs are promising. North Carolina boasts a top-10 transfer class for 2025. The series is expected to provide exclusive access as Belichick leads the Tar Heels into a pivotal new chapterstarting September 1 vs. TCU.

But the series has been riddled with controversies, with Bill’s young girlfriend at the center. Originally, HBO’s Hard Knocks was slated to film Belichick’s transition to college football. However, the project was abruptly scrapped, reportedly due to Hudson’s demands for content approval and partial ownership of the show. This intervention, along with her increasingly visible role in Belichick’s public appearances, led to widespread backlash.

Hudson previously interrupted a CBS Sunday Morning interview with Belichickeven storming off set, delaying filming by 30 minutes. That moment was so disruptive that CBS included one of her interruptions in the final cut to reflect the reality of the shoot. These incidents sparked public concern, including criticism from former Patriots players and sports media figures, who questioned whether Belichick was making sound decisions, both personally and professionally.

Adding to the intrigue, Hudson reportedly registered several trademarks tied to Belichick’s imageincluding “Chapel Bill (Bill’s Version)”, “Do Your Job (Bill’s Version)”, and “No Days Off (Bill’s Version)”, raising further questions about her commercial involvement in his brand and legacy.

While it’s unclear how much control Hudson will have over the new Hulu series, her prior influence has already reshaped the narrative around Belichick’s new era at UNC. The docuseries does not yet have an official title or release date, but it will likely explore both the football side of Belichick’s journey and the personal controversies now surrounding it.
