Arsenal are the latest subject of a fly-on-the-wall-style sports documentary series, which have seemingly become all the rage over recent years.

The series will focus on the club’s 2021/22 campaign, which saw them flounder before bouncing back to take control of the race for fourth in the Premier League, which they eventually ceded to north London rivals Tottenham.

The much-anticipated first trailer for the series dropped earlier this month, with a 24-second clip encapsulating the dramatic season, and the first three episodes of the documentary were released on Amazon Prime on Thursday, August 4.

The series is narrated by 33-year-old Londoner Daniel Kaluuya, who bagged the award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his part in Judas and the Black Messiah at the 2021 Oscars, as well as making waves starring in blockbusters such as Get Out and Black Panther.

But, who is Daniel Kaluuya? Here’s everything you need to know.

Who is Daniel Kaluuya and how old is he?

Daniel was born in London on 24 February 1989 - and he is 33.

He began his acting career as a teenager in improvisational theatre, appearing in the first two seasons of the E4 teen series Skins, which he also co-wrote.

After his 2017 horror film Get Out, he won nominations for a BAFTA, Golden Globe, SAG Award and a Critics’ Choice Award in the best actor in a leading role category. He has also won the 2018 BAFTA Rising Star Award and an Oscars nomination for Best Actor.

At the 2021 Oscars, he won the award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his role in Judas and the Black Messiah.

Kaluuya was nominated for Best Actor for his role in Get Out in 2018, but was beaten by Gary Oldman.

His role in Get Out also secured him a NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture.

Daniel currently lives in West London with his girlfriend, Amandla.

Daniel has had a string of successful roles in films, including Shoot the Messenger, Cass, Johnny English Reborn, Kick-Ass 2, Sicario and Judas and the Black Messiah.

He’s also starred in various TV shows, including Silent Witness, That Mitchell and Webb Look, Skins, Doctor Who, Psychoville and Harry and Paul.
