All or Nothing: Arsenal is an Amazon Original sports docuseries as part of the All or Nothing brand. In the series, English Premier League side Arsenal's progress was charted through their 2021–22 season, in which they were the youngest team in the Premier League.[1][2] The series was produced by 72 Films, executive produced by Mark Raphael, Clare Cameron and BAFTA winner John Douglas.[3][4] The series was narrated by Academy Award- and BAFTA Award-winning actor Daniel Kaluuya, who was born and grew up in London, and is a lifelong Arsenal supporter.[5][6] The first three episodes of the eight-part series were released on 4 August 2022, and further episodes were released on 11 August and 18 August.[7] Background[edit]In the 2016–17 season, Arsenal won the FA Cup for a record thirteenth time-and a record seventh under Arsène Wenger,[8] who became the most successful manager in the history of the competition, but fell out of the top four in the Premier League for the first time since before Wenger arrived in 1996, finishing fifth to end their 19-year run in the UEFA Champions League. After another unspectacular league season the following year, Wenger departed Arsenal on 13 May 2018, ending a 22-year, trophy–laden association with the club.[9] Unai Emery was named as the club's new head coach on 23 May 2018.[10][11] In Emery's first season, Arsenal finished fifth in the Premier League and as runner-up in the UEFA Europa League.[12] On 29 November 2019, Emery was sacked after Arsenal had gone seven games without a win in all competitions, which was their worst run in 27 years; and former player and assistant first team coach Freddie Ljungberg was appointed as interim head coach.[13][14] On 20 December 2019, Arsenal appointed former club captain Mikel Arteta as the new head coach.[15][16][17] The 2019–20 season had been defined by a three-month lull between March and June, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; and when it returned, it was behind closed doors. Arsenal finished the league season in eighth, their lowest finish since 1994–95, but earned a record-extending 14th FA Cup win on 1 August 2020, helping them qualify for next season's Europa League, and making Arteta the first person to win the FA Cup as both captain and coach of the club.[18] After the 2019–20 season, Arteta's title was changed from head coach to manager.[19][20] On 18 April 2021, Arsenal were announced as a founding club of the breakaway European competition The Super League; they withdrew from the competition two days later amid near-universal condemnation.[21] Arsenal finished the 2020–21 season in eighth place once again, this time not qualifying for a European competition for the first time in 25 years.[22][23] Plot[edit]The series features a rollercoaster season for the club.[24][25] With their three consecutive defeats to open the 2021–22 Premier League campaign, Arsenal dropped to 20th, sitting at the bottom of the table, which was their worst start to a season for 67 years.[26][27] They finished the league season in fifth place with 22 wins, 3 draws and 13 defeats, and qualified for the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League.[28][29] Episodes[edit]Cast[edit]Players[edit]In the 2021–22 season, Arsenal were the youngest team in the Premier League with an average starting age of 24 years and 308 days – more than a whole year younger than the next team.[1][2] First-team players[30][31] The following first-team players make appearances in the docuseries.
