HBO has worked for years to get the Chicago Bears on Hard Knocks. Not only are they a massive media market, but they carry a huge fanbase with tons of NFL history. At last, the league pounced on the opportunity to put the franchise on the show. The timing felt perfect. Chicago had drafted Caleb Williams #1 overall. The team is young and filled with unique characters. It was a golden opportunity to renew interest in the series. At last, the channel put out the first trailer for the upcoming debut episode.
