Prime Video has announced a second series of hit reality docuseries, ‘Married To The Game’, which will feature some familiar faces from series one, including Jorginho and Cat Harding, and Riyad Mahrez and Taylor Ward.
Three new Premier League couples have joined the cast, Marc Cucurella and Claudia Rodríguez, Gabriel Magalhães and Gabrielle Figueiredo, and Leon Bailey and Stephanie Hope (pic). ‘Married To The Game’ will launch on Prime Video in 2025 in the UK and Ireland. Series two of the revealing and entertaining docuseries promises even deeper access into the lives of the wives and girlfriends of leading premiership footballers.
Much more than just plus ones to their superstar partners, these women are success stories in their own right, juggling their own careers and big social media followings with being mothers, and supporting their partners’ all-consuming careers. Over the course of six episodes, viewers will get an unfiltered glimpse into life off the pitch, as the globetrotting couples do life in their own unique way.
From private jets to “Marbs”, a glamourous wedding in Lake Como, to the rush of winning the Euros and gaining front row seats at Milan Fashion Week, the cameras will be there every step of the way with exclusive access into their lives. ‘Married to the Game’ is produced by Lionsgate Alternative Television.
The series executive producer is Rachael Parker. The executive producer is Tom Richardson and the series producer and director is Jarek Rozenfeld. Lionsgate holds the international distribution rights.

Brazilian beauty Gabrielle (Gabi) is an aspiring fashion influencer who doesn’t do things by halves. When she sets her mind to something she gives it her all and is determined to be successful in her own right, more than just a footballer’s wife.
Hubby Gabriel had a huge year with Arsenal and was recently named in the Premier League Team of The Season. After getting close twice, ‘Big Gabi’ is eager to finally pip Manchester City to the title this year.

Cat Harding
Partner: Jorginho, Arsenal Midfielder, Italian National team
Cat is back and she’s got a ring on her finger, as she correctly predicted in the final episode of series 1. Jorginho came good in the end!
This series we catch up with Cat as she starts planning her wedding next summer in the footballer hotspot of Lake Como. It might be a year away, but there’s plenty to be getting on with – including personalised perfume making and wedding outfits for the children.
Aside from planning her big day, Cat’s focus is on Ada this year who is growing increasingly keen on following in her footsteps and pursuing a career in singing, acting and musical theatre. This is something Cat wants to approach with caution but with the right guidance believes Ada could achieve her dreams.
After throwing the party of the summer last year, complete with Brazilian dancers, this time it’s a spookier occasion for Halloween. Much like last year, Cat is a whirlwind of chaotic energy as she juggles her busy life with the ever-present support of Nanny.
Stephanie Hope
Partner: Leon Bailey, Aston Villa Midfielder, Jamaican National team
Real and relatable with a great sense of fun, Steph lights up every room with her effervescent outlook and huge smile. Stephanie and Leon are a vibe!
Despite having spent half her life in Atlanta, Georgia, Steph’s originally from Jamaica and calls it home. These two met in Jamaica after Leon slid into Steph’s insta DMs in 2017, and they’ve never looked back! They’re playful with one another and its clear they completely adore one another.
Steph says that Leon has no filter, he tells it how it is, and sometimes people find him abrupt. Leon is one of Aston Villa’s standout stars, an attacking midfielder in one of the most exciting scoring teams in the prem as well as being back in the Champions League for the first time since 1982!
Claudia Rodríguez
Partner: Marc Cucurella, Chelsea Defender, Spanish National team
Catalonian Claudia met her soulmate Marc in Barcelona when she was just 17 and the two have been inseparable ever since. Claudia has been by Marc’s side as his career has blossomed, moving with him to Madrid, Brighton and finally London where he currently plays for Chelsea.
They have 3 kids; Mateo (4), Rio (2), and Bella (1). Mateo has autism and, although the last couple of years have been challenging, it has made them stronger as a couple and as people.
We join them for the craziest summer of their lives as Marc plays for the Spanish national team at Euro 2024 which they end up winning. Marc becomes a global celebrity with a chant in his name and in turn Claudia finds herself more in the limelight than ever before.
Taylor Ward
Partner: Riyad Mahrez, Al-Ahli Saudi FC Right Winger, Algerian National team (Captain)
Taylor and Riyad gear up for their third and final wedding, and this is the big one! Splashing a cool million on their big day, Taylor and Riyad go all out to celebrate in style with all their closest friends and family in Lake Como.
Taylor has been busy since we last saw her house hunting in her new hometown of Jeddah. Now complete with a luxurious new child-unfriendly white interior, Taylor feels settled in the house, even if Riyad claims she’s only there when she’s not living her jet set lifestyle. During series 2, we join Taylor in Istanbul undergoing breast reduction surgery, in Marbella for her hen do, back to Istanbul for her wedding dress fitting, to Lake Como for the wedding of the year and of course Manchester which is still Taylor’s spiritual home.
