The series, titled "The Last Dance," has secured Jordan's participation, and will feature interviews with him and "other key figures from the Bulls' championship teams, as well as dozens of other luminaries from basketball and beyond."
Directed by Jason Hehir, who also helmed sports docs like "The Fab Five" and "Andre the Giant," the series will feature never-before-seen footage from the Bulls' 1997-98 championship season, the last year Jordan played in Chicago.
It's scheduled to air in 2019.
