Dear England (Season 1)

Dear England (2026) is a British drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Joseph Fiennes plays Gareth Southgate, the coach who decided England's real problem was never tactics — it was fear. Directed by Paul Whittington and Rupert Goold.

England arrived at Southgate's tenure trailing years of tournament failure: penalty shootout collapses, exits that felt inevitable, a fanbase wired to expect the worst. His response was to bring in psychology, lower the pressure, and ask players to look honestly at what was happening inside their heads. Jodi Whittaker and Jason Watkins co-star in a drama that treats sport as a window into something bigger.
