HBO Max's sports documentary series Hard Knocks: Training Camp With the Buffalo Bills dropped on August 5, 2025, giving fans a glimpse of the team's dynamics and a sneak peek at both their personal and professional lives. The series wrapped up with its fifth and final episode on September 2, 2025.
However, the finale left some fans curious about why the series skipped Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld's wedding. It is no secret that the Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen married The Edge of Seventeen actor Hailee Steinfeld on May 31, 2025, in California. What was surprising was that the series finale did not show any glimpse of the wedding.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, director Pat Harris revealed:
"No, I don’t think so. That would have been a pipe dream. I would have loved to do it, but definitely can understand why that didn’t happen."
Thus, Pat Harris respected Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld's choices and refrained from filming their wedding. After a year or two of dating, Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld got engaged on November 11, 2024.
