The Green Bay Packers’ season came to a disappointing end in the Wild Card round, but there’s more “Cheesehead” football just days away with the film Green and Gold, set to release in theaters on Jan. 31. This Packers-themed film tells the story of a farming family facing drama during the Packers’ resurgence in the 1990s.
A trailer on X reveals the premise: “A struggling family farmer wagers everything on a high-stakes Super Bowl bet, while his granddaughter’s musical ambitions could be their ticket to a new beginning. … a powerful story of hope, resilience, and the unbreakable bond of family.”

“This movie’s going to be really popular,” Packers president Mark Murphy told the Sports Business Journal. “It tugs at the heartstrings.” The cast includes Craig T. Nelson as the family patriarch, with Brandon Sklenar and Madison Lawlor as family members, and comedian Charlie Berens playing a radio host. The late M. Emmet Walsh also stars in his final role.
According to SBJ, the film’s independent production firm approached the Packers for a formal sponsorship deal only about six months ago. “We’re a community-owned team, so for us supporting and promoting the local community is a top priority,” Murphy shared.
