The deal means that the Apple TV+ hit will be able to use Premier League archive footage, its logos, club kits, and the trophy. This should all add to the realism of the show. Executives at the show have apparently warmed to it and the audience it provides for English soccer. The producer’s interest in such a deal was first reported in the Daily Mail towards the end of September.

After the FA Cup near miss, we can expect Richmond to be back in the big time next season.
