Showtime this season will "not feature a fourth" iteration of its college football team all-access show after covering Notre Dame, Florida State and Navy the past three years, according to Andrew Bucholtz of AWFUL ANNOUNCING. A Showtime spokesperson said that the "'stars didn’t align this season,' but that they could do future versions of this series in the coming years." The series, dubbed "A Season With," has received a "pretty decent critical reception" but the episodes "haven’t always made a massive impact in the wider landscape." There is a "whole lot of competition out there in the 'all-access college football documentary' space, from Amazon’s 'All Or Nothing' series on Michigan, to ESPN’s all-access series on Alabama training camp to the various conference networks’ behind-the-scenes looks." That over-saturation shows the "right team is needed to make a series that has a wider impact, and maybe this time around, Showtime wasn’t able to sign a deal with a team that would move the needle enough" (AWFULANNOUNCING.com, 8/13).
