Prime Video is heading back to the ice next year. The streamer said today that it has renewed the popular docuseries Faceoff: Inside the NHL for a six-episode second season to air in fall 2025.
Produced by Box to Box and NHL Productions, the series offers an unprecedented look into the world of the National Hockey League. From the serene moments of introspection to the heart-pounding intensity of gametime, Season 2 promises more up-close access to the elite players in the world’s greatest hockey league.
Among them will be Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk, who appeared in the inaugural season alongside his brother Matthew and NHL alum dad Keith. Other spotlighted players are TBA.
Among the highlights of Faceoff‘s first season was an emotional, viral, NSFW locker room speech by Connor McDavid, the often-stoical Edmonton Oilers captain who’s inarguably the world’s best player and arguably among the greatest ever. Watch it here, with a caveat about his language:
Season 2 will delve deeper into the personal and professional lives of NHL stars, offering viewers a 360-degree view of their lives both on and off the ice and sacrifice required to excel in one of the world’s most demanding sports. It will feature candid interviews with compelling players, their fiercest rivals and those closest to them – including teammates, coaches and family members.

“Season 1 of Faceoff: Inside the NHL delivered riveting, personal content like never before.

The series is executive produced by James Gay-Rees, Paul Martin and Hillary Olsen for Box to Box; Steve Mayer for NHL Productions; and showrunner Daniel Amigone.
