ESPN doc 'Full Court Press' returns with basketball stars from USC, LSU and Notre Dame

ESPN and Peyton Manning’s production company are doubling down on women’s basketball.

There will be a second season of "Full Court Press,” the documentary that followed Caitlin Clark, Kamilla Cardoso and Kiki Rice last season. USC’s Kiki Iriafen, LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson and Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo are the athletes featured in this season’s four-part series, announced Monday.

The series, by ESPN and Omaha Productions, follows the three athletes on and off the court, and includes interviews with them, their families and teams, as well as behind-the-scenes footage.

"There is no better time to be a fan of women's college basketball than right now," Manning said in a statement Monday. "We're thrilled to share the stories of these three talented women as they continue to push the game to new heights."

Iriafen spent her first three seasons at Stanford, where she led the Cardinal in scoring as a junior and was the team’s second-leading rebounder. After graduating early with a degree in engineering, the Los Angeles native returned to her hometown to play a final season at USC.

Johnson helped LSU win the national title as a freshman. She’s continued to be a key player for the Tigers while, off-the-court, she’s a budding rap star and business mogul. Hidalgo last year became one of only five freshmen to be Associated Press first-team All-Americans.

The first two episodes of “Full Court Press” begin airing May 3 with the remaining two available May 11. They also can be streamed on ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+.
