‘Man In The Arena’ Finale Date Revealed; Tom Brady To Discuss Patriots Exit

At last, we know the air date for the finale of “Man in the Arena,” ESPN’s docuseries about Tom Brady.

The penultimate episode aired Jan. 11 and explored Brady and the New England Patriots beating the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII. But, until Monday, the finale had been shrouded in mystery, leading many to wonder whether it initially was intended to coincide with Brady’s NFL “retirement.”

Well, the episode will stream Tuesday, April 26, on ESPN+ and contain interviews with Brady, his father, Tom Brady Sr., and Rob Gronkowski. The finale promises to explore Brady’s exit from the Patriots and subsequent leading of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl championship.

Check out the trailer:

It’s unclear whether the episode will go into the events surrounding Brady’s brief, 40-day retirement. Even if it does, it’s hard to imagine it offering any real insight, especially if rumors of Brady wanting to join the Miami Dolphins are true.

That said, “Man in the Arena” generally has been more revealing and interesting than many expected it would be. Let’s hope the series ends on a high note.
