Production and release
[edit]In December 2022, Midge Purce invited eleven other NWSL players[a] to two houses in Jupiter, Florida, as a proof of concept for the show. The players lived together for two weeks and trained in preparation for the 2023 season. Some footage from the fortnight was posted on social media.[3] The following year, Alexis Ohanian and Vanderpump Rules executive producer Alex Baskin joined Purce as executive producers for the project.[4] The Offseason filmed its first season in January 2024 in Miami, Florida, just before the 2024 preseason.[5] The series premiered on Twitter on October 18, 2024.[6]
