Former England striker Michael Owen stars in a new six-part Prime Video documentary series titled 'Meet the Owens,' which premieres on August 28. The show offers viewers a front-row seat to the daily struggles of the Owen family as they navigate the pressures of running a horse racing business alongside the everyday chaos of family life.
The newly released trailer reveals that keeping the family's ambitious stables afloat is becoming increasingly difficult each year. The series also promises an intimate look at Michael and his wife Louise as they prepare to become empty nesters, with their four children all standing at major crossroads while pursuing their own high-pressure ambitions.
Children's ambitions take center stage
Influencer daughter Gemma is trading her glamorous television career for the saddle as she trains at her father's racing yard, with her sights set on competing as a jockey at Glorious Goodwood. Twenty-year-old James is determined to join the family business despite battling a degenerative eye condition.
Eighteen-year-old Emily is striving to become the first Owen to attend university, while the youngest child, Jessica, dreams of Olympic show jumping glory. The docuseries shares the ups and downs of life in the Owen household.
