PULISIC Docuseries Produced in Partnership with CBS Sports

Christian Pulisic

June 1, 2024 – Paramount+ today announced a new docuseries PULISIC, which gives an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at Christian Pulisic and traces the life story of how he’s risen to become American soccer’s biggest star.

The series will provide unprecedented access to Pulisic’s life and growing celebrity in Italy as he competes in the UEFA Champions League and Serie A competitions. Cameras will be in tow every step of the way as Pulisic meets the demands of global stardom and prepares for the biggest moment of his career – the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup on home soil.

The series looks back at the life and career of Pulisic, from his beginnings in Hershey, Pennsylvania to European standout and American hero. From representing the U.S. Men’s National Team this summer to suiting up for AC Milan against the game’s biggest stars in Europe, Pulisic’s stardom is reaching new heights both on and off the pitch.

PULISIC is produced in partnership with CBS Sports and CBS Sports Emmy-winning Senior Creative Director Pete Radovich.

“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,” said Radovich. “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.”


PULISIC is a Paramount+ Original and the latest installment in STORIES FROM THE BEAUTIFUL GAME, Paramount+’s soccer documentary collection that also includes Emmy-winning FOOTBALL MUST GO ON and Emmy-nominated SIR ALEX FERGUSON: NEVER GIVE IN.

My arms wrapped around your waist
I really really really wanna spend my time with you cuz I

Need to hear you say you need me

Everybody needs somebody
So Put your body on my body
Only wanna be your only one
