The last four episodes of the NBC and Peacock documentary series “On the Rise: JuJu Watkins“, profiling the USC women’s basketball star, will release later this month.
Episodes three through six air on NBC on Sunday 29 December from 4pm–6pm Eastern time (1pm–3pm Pacific time) and will be available to stream on Peacock. The first two episodes premiered in November and can also be streamed on Peacock.
Watkins, 19, starred for Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles before joining the University of Southern California Trojans.
In high school, she broke multiple records, and holds her school’s single-game record with 60 points which she scored on the same day as her senior prom night.
The documentary series followed Watkins through her last year in high school, when she was dealing with offers from various colleges as well as playing for Sierra Canyon and also being a teenager.
Watkins eventually chose the Trojans and continued her record-setting ways at USC, helping her school reach the Elite Eight for the first time in 30 years as well as becoming the top scorer for any freshman in Division I women’s basketball history.
Those performances earned her the U.S. Basketball Writers’ Association National Freshman of the Year and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year awards.
Currently in her sophomore season, Watkins is averaging 25 points per game.
