ESPN announced Tuesday morning that it will partner with Netflix to release a 10-part, 10-hour documentary series on Michael Jordan called “The Last Dance.”

Jordan gave his full participation for the documentary–a rarity for the normally reclusive superstar–which will focus on the dynasty he helped create with the 1990s Chicago Bulls.

It will also take a look at the rise of both Jordan and the NBA as a whole during those years, while providing a look at plenty of unseen footage from the Bulls’ 1997-98 championship season.

The series is set to premiere sometime in 2019.
