Director Jason Hehir had only completed three of 10 episodes of his ESPN Michael Jordan documentary when the coronavirus lockdown began in mid-March. At the time, he wasn't sure he would be able to complete The Last Dance by its June 2 premiere date. But with ESPN moving The Last Dance's airdate up, Hehir and his team have been scrambling to complete the episodes. Episodes 1 through 8 were sent to the media in advance, but Episode 9 was completed Friday. Episode 10 is scheduled to be done on May 10, one week before it airs on May 17. ALSO: The Last Dance teams with Spotify for podcasts connected to the documentary.
