Tubi orders five-part Buffalo Bills fan documentary just One Before I Die. Tubi is releasing a five-episode docuseries about the Buffalo Bills fanbase, with all episodes dropping at once on Wednesday, October 21. Just One Before I Die is directed by Addison Henderson and Kevin Polowy, both Buffalo natives who spent nearly three years embedded with Bills Mafia fans for the project. It covers the full arc of the fanbase's experience: the legendary tailgates, the four consecutive Super Bowl losses of the early 1990s, the 17-year playoff drought that followed, and the current era under quarterback Josh Allen, the 2024 NFL MVP. Las Vegas oddsmakers currently have the Bills as the favourite AFC team to reach the Super Bowl, making the timing pointed. Interviews include Bills legends Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Ryan Fitzpatrick and current lineman Dion Dawkins, alongside Adam Schefter, Nick Wright and Buffalo native Chad Michael Murray. "We've spent nearly three years embedded with these 'joyfully crazy' fans," Henderson and Polowy said in a joint statement, "and it's been a true honour to take on the responsibility of depicting to the world why Bills Mafia is the best fanbase in sports." The series is co-produced by Uninterrupted, the company founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter, as part of Tubi's ongoing partnership with Fulwell Entertainment's UNINTERRUPTED. All five episodes are free to stream on Tubi from October 21.
