Dan Fogelman's NFL family drama "The Land" is scheduled to premiere on Hulu on Monday, Feb. 15, 2027, with its first two episodes dropping at 9 p.m. PT, according to reporting from Oct. 8, 2026. The debut is positioned to follow the Super Bowl, which is airing on ESPN, ABC and Disney+ on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027 — not on Hulu. After the two-episode launch, new episodes are set to release weekly on Hulu in the U.S., and on Disney+ internationally.

Cast, characters and logline

The series stars Christopher Meloni as Cleveland Browns head coach Danny Roarke, whose fate rests on a newly drafted Ohio State quarterback who is also his son. William H. Macy plays owner Hal Durkin, who must choose which of his two daughters will take over the team. The ensemble also includes Mandy Moore, Chace Crawford, Sam Corlett, Tanner Zagarino, Chloe Bennet, Bridget Moynahan and Omar Epps. The official logline frames the show as "the story of two families" in which high-stakes drama plays out "on the field" and "in the front offices of this NFL franchise."
