The Giants for the first time will be featured on “Hard Knocks,” HBO’s groundbreaking inside look at NFL teams. But it is not the typical “Hard Knocks” deal.

This will be a new version of the show, an offseason look at the Giants, chronicling their offseason starting in January and ending in July — well in advance of training camp this summer.

So, no cameras on players as they get released and no entertaining audio of players or coaches during training camp practices.

The first episode of the five-part series debuts July 2 at 9 p.m, on HBO. This will be called “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants.”

According to the press release, the series “will bring viewers inside the New York Giants organization as the team prepares for their highly anticipated 100th season.

Camera crews will chronicle the team’s every move as general manager Joe Schoen and other members of the team’s front office and staff navigate the critical offseason period from January to July 2024, from the NFL Scouting Combine to free agency, to the NFL Draft, and team minicamps.”

Nilay Shah, the Giants’ senior vice president of marketing and brand strategy, said the team is looking forward “to providing our fans with the opportunity to see what it takes to build an NFL roster,” adding “beginning the moment the previous season ended, we gave NFL Films unprecedented access to this critical time of the year.”

How much of that access is revealed remains to be seen. Since the 2023 season ended, with the Giants going 7-10, there have been plenty of restless moments for the franchise.

Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale cursed out head coach Brian Daboll, leading to Martindale’s departure.

Saquon Barkley left for the rival Eagles in free agency and there was an attempt to trade up in the NFL draft to get Drake Maye, a trade that would have made Daniel Jones a lame-duck quarterback.

How much, if any, of this makes it onto the show?

Other offseason developments for the “Hard Knocks” cameras include the trade for Brian Burns, the selection of wide receiver Malik Nabers with the No. 6 overall pick, Jones’ rehab from knee surgery and the likelihood of tight end Darren Waller retiring.

“Hard Knocks” has received 18 Sports Emmy Awards documenting NFL training camps and the regular season.

The series is produced by NFL Films. Skydance Sports will co-produce this series, with Liev Schreiber narrating.

The Giants have long been opposed to appearing on “Hard Knocks” and have avoided being on the show all these years, with co-owner John Mara especially vocal about keeping the cameras away from his training camp.

This offseason version will be far less invasive and, coupled with the 100th season festivities the Giants are planning, was a more attractive option for the franchise.
