WAYNE and Coleen Rooney are set to make a fly-on-the-wall documentary featuring the couple’s domestic lives with their four sons.
It comes after the success of Tyson Fury’s Netlfix series, which followed the life of the champion boxer and his family.

The show on former Manchester United and England legend Wayne, 38, and Coleen, 37, could spark a bidding war among streaming giants.
A TV insider said: “The couple have starred in documentaries for different streamers and the feedback from viewers was that they’re most intrigued by what life is like behind the doors of Chez Rooney.
“Wayne and Coleen live in a sprawling £20million mansion in leafy Cheshire with six bedrooms, a wine cellar and accommodation on their 40-acre estate for 14 horses.
“Then there’s the fact they’ll soon be navigating the minefield of having four lads aged five to 13 growing up with famous parents and the luxuries that come with that.”
The source added Fury had shown “a sports star’s domestic life can be just as intriguing as a rock star or style icon”.
Hit Disney+ documentary Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story gave her side of the High Court libel clash with Rebekah Vardy.
Amazon Prime Video’s Rooney, looking at his life and career, came out in 2022.
Both were made by Lorton Productions, who recently said they were launching the third TV project with the couple.
It was originally believed to focus on Wayne’s coaching career, but that seems less likely after Birmingham City fired him last month.
Instead it could now follow eldest son Kai, 14, who is in Man United’s youth academy, and brothers Klay, ten, Kit, eight, and five-year-old Cass.
A spokesman for the Rooneys declined to comment.
