The show must go on.
There will be a season two of Up The Hearts, an acclaimed docuseries that has told the story of Portland Hearts of Pine since its inception. The show, produced by Portland-based Knack Factory, will continue to air on New England Sports Network (NESN).
Season one chronicled the brand's unveiling, first-ever game, and daring run in the USL League One playoffs. It also highlighted the many community events guided by the team's mantra of "Lead with your Heart."
The series, led by Executive Producer and Director Kurt Graser, recounts the club's highs and lows through the players, technical staff, supporters, and more.
“The first season was about capturing the creation of something that had never existed here before,” said Graser, who also owns and operates Knack Factory. “Now we get to tell the story of what comes next — the growth, the pressure, the ambition, and the responsibility of representing a city. I’m incredibly proud of what we built in Season One, and I’m even more excited to continue this journey with NESN and the Hearts of Pine community.”
Graser and his team at Knack Factory are also working on a feature-length documentary about the team's historic first season.
More information about season two of Up the Hearts, including a premiere date, will be announced in the coming months.
Until then, you can watch all of season one on YouTube and keep up with their latest news via Instagram.
