Disney+ has unveiled a first look at the upcoming documentary series, The Real Rooneys.

First announced last summer, the 10-part series follows Coleen and Wayne Rooney as they invite cameras into their home for a pivotal year in their lives.

As Wayne steps away from football management, Coleen embraces the biggest opportunities of her career, including designing her own Primark range.

The teaser clip gives a taste of what's to come as Coleen says: "No one knows the real Rooneys. This is a side of us we've never shown before."

You can watch the clip below.

The first eight episodes will be available to stream from Thursday 24 September, followed by the final two special episodes on Thursday 1 October.

The synopsis for the series adds: "With unprecedented access, we follow the family through the highs and lows of married life, raising four lively boys, and supporting eldest son Kai as he pursues his own footballing dream.

"Along the way come surprising personal revelations, career-defining moments, lavish celebrations and unforgettable family holidays. From their Cheshire home to the beaches of Barbados and the snowy Alps, this is Britain's most famous and private family as never seen before: warm, funny and authentic."

Both Coleen and Wayne have already collaborated with Disney+. Coleen released a documentary series of her own titled The Real Wagatha Story, which saw her speak out for the first time on how she conducted a secret sting operation when she became certain one of the followers on her private social media account was selling her stories to the tabloids.

And, more recently, it was announced that Wayne was to host a brand new series, Stick to United with Wayne Rooney, in which he is joined by YouTuber Mark Goldbridge to analyse Manchester United's recent results and performances, provide expert insight, honest opinion and in-depth discussion.
