Former England striker Michael Owen juggles a horse racing empire on the edge while balancing a chaotic home life in the trailer for Prime Video’s Meet The Owens.
Prime Video has released the official trailer and first-look images for Meet the Owens, a six-part docuseries premiering in the UK and Ireland on 28th August 2026, available to Prime members at no additional cost.
Produced by Whisper (Sven and Built in Birmingham: Brady & The Blues), Meet the Owens follows a year in the life of former England striker Michael Owen, his wife Louise, and their four children, Gemma, James, Emily, and Jessica, as they juggle a horse racing business while contending with a chaotic home life.
THE PREMISE
Since retiring from a Ballon d’Or-winning football career, Michael Owen has built a horse racing business to compete at the biggest events in the world, but running a successful racing operation has never been more challenging. At home, he and wife Louise are preparing for life as empty nesters: youngest Jessica dreams of becoming a showjumping Olympic champion; Emily, 18, is trying to become the first Owen to go to university; and James, 20, who has a degenerative eye condition, wants to join the family business. Meanwhile, eldest daughter Gemma, a presenter and equestrian with millions of social media followers, is balancing her media career with an ambitious new challenge. Training at her dad’s stables, she has her sights set on racing at Glorious Goodwood.
To bring the series to life, global production company Whisper brought together an industry-leading creative team. Meet the Owens is directed by Emmy nominated Chris Wallwork (Born Racers) and produced by Chris Grubb (Sven, Ben Stokes: Phoenix from the Ashes), Drew Masters (14 Peaks, Built in Birmingham), Will Yapp (Clarkson’s Farm, The Reluctant Traveler), Christian Cerami (Molly-Mae: Behind it All), Mark Cole (Sven), and Whisper co-founders Jake Humphrey & Sunil Patel.
