Amazon have been filming behind the scenes content at Newcastle United for another instalment of their popular 'All or Nothing' style documentaries, according to reports.
Last year, rumours of Newcastle becoming the next Premier League club to feature in a docuseries were rife. Amazon were apparently looking to tempt the Magpies into allowing their cameras to follow them for the 2023/24 season.
But it was suggested that the streaming giants could have had their work cut given that Newcastle had already rejected a number of offers from other production companies.
That being said, just months after those reports emerged, it has been confirmed that Amazon camera crews have been filming behind the scenes at St James' Park and beyond for a four-part documentary.

That's according to Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie, who says the series will chart the club and its new owners as they attempt to win a trophy and qualify for the Champions League.
Newcastle have already reached the Carabao Cup final after beating Southampton over two legs, and will face Manchester United at Wembley on February 26 – an event that will no doubt be captured on camera for the Amazon show.
As well as their success in the Premier League this season, where they current sit in fourth after losing just one game, the series will no doubt give fans an insight into the new era of the North East club following their Saudi led takeover.
As you can imagine, fans cannot wait to tune in, although a release date has yet to be announced.
One fan commented on the news, saying: "Newcastle Amazon doc will be insane, can’t wait to see it!" while another wrote: "Strawberry Place bought back, Newcastle Amazon series announced, what a day to be a #NUFC fan."
A third said: "This will be the best thing I’ve ever watched in my entire life."
A fourth commented: "They never end well. We’re definitely missing out on top 4 on the last day and losing the final on penalties."
Manchester City were the first Premier League club to feature in an Amazon Prime documentary series back in 2018 before North London pair Tottenham and Arsenal followed.
Netflix, meanwhile, followed Newcastle's local rivals Sunderland through the 2017-18 season as they tried to bounce back from Premier League relegation.
Something I mentioned last night on @tfNUFC: Camera crews have been filming behind-the-scenes at Newcastle United for a four-part documentary to be shown on Amazon.
