After spending the 2023 preseason with the New York Jets, the HBO “Hard Knocks” crew is heading back to Jersey for “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants,” which premieres tonight, July 2.

Filmed between January 2024 and July 2024, the series will give fans an in-depth look at building an NFL roster, from free agency and the scouting combine, to the NFL Draft, to various mini-camps.
