“The Foundation,” a series produced in-house at Northwestern’s own Studio N is back for another season. Season four of “The Foundation: Northwestern Football,” is set to premiere at 5:30 p.m. CT on NBC Sports Chicago. A trailer was shared on Twitter Wednesday.

“We’re proud to share what our program represents on the field and off,” head coach Pat Fitzgerald said in the season four announcement. “The hard work of our broadcast operations staff allows us to show recruits and the Wildcats community around the world what Northwestern football is all about, on gameday and throughout the year. We’re excited this season to give people another glimpse of our process to build a foundation to compete for championships.”

In December, “The Foundation: Northwestern Basketball” won the Chicago/Midwest Regional Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Sports Programs – Program Series.
