Christian Pulisic documentary coming to Paramount+ this fall

Soccer fans will get a glimpse of Christian Pulisic’s life in a documentary coming this fall to Paramount+.

The multi-episode series — named Pulisic — will begin filming this summer and include Pulisic playing for the U.S. men’s national team at the 2024 Copa América, which will be held in the United States from June 20 to July 14.

“Christian Pulisic is the most high-profile men’s player to ever come out of America, but very little is known about his personal life,” CBS Sports producer Pete Radovich said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to be working with Christian to tell his life story, show the world who he really is, and highlight the tremendous impact he’s had on American soccer leading into the most demanding moments of his career.”

The documentary will chronicle Pulisic’s upbringing in Hershey, Penn., and his rise to fame in Europe. The 25-year-old midfielder began his professional career with the Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in 2016 before transferring to the Premier League’s Chelsea in 2019.

Pulisic helped the Blues win the 2021 Champions League title, as well as the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup that year. Between injuries and roster additions, Pulisic saw his playing time diminish with Chelsea. Last July, he joined AC Milan and has scored 12 goals in 36 matches with the club this season.

With USMNT, Pulisic has won two CONCACAF Nations League titles (2020 and 2023) and played at the 2022 World Cup, where he scored against Iran in the group stage. The USMNT captain has scored 28 goals and provided 15 assists in 65 international appearances.
