Disney+ has released ‘The Real Rooneys’, a 10-part documentary series following the lives of Wayne and Coleen Rooney. The series, which premiered on September 24, captures a transformative year for the family, including Wayne Rooney’s transition away from football management—specifically following his dismissal as head coach of Plymouth Argyle—and Coleen Rooney’s career expansion through a Primark clothing range. In the United States, the series is available via Hulu, while it remains a Disney+ release globally. The documentary provides an intimate look at the family’s luxury lifestyle in Cheshire and features their eldest son, Kai, as he pursues a career in football. The production, which reportedly cost Disney+ £10 million, highlights the family’s roots in Croxteth, Liverpool. At the London premiere, Wayne Rooney drew public attention for a rejuvenated appearance, including a reshaped nose. He previously disclosed on the ‘Stick to United’ podcast that he underwent surgery to correct a deviated septum and respiratory issues caused by two broken noses sustained during his professional football career. Viewers have also noted physical changes attributed to weight loss and dietary adjustments. The documentary explores the family’s personal milestones and challenges, including the ‘highs and lows of married life’ and ~~the process of raising their four sons: Kai, Klay, Kit, and Cass.~~ moments where Coleen considered separation due to domestic tensions. During production, the family traveled to Poland to visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial site, a ~~personal~~ decision prompted by their son Kit’s interest in World War II history. In the series, Wayne Rooney reveals that he recently discovered his maternal grandmother’s family had Polish Jewish roots. Coleen Rooney stated the series aims to present the family as ‘real people’ through a traditional documentary format rather than social media, though critics have noted the structure follows a traditional reality television format designed to promote the family brand and their commercial ventures.
