The Cincinnati Bengals will be featured on HBO's 'Hard Knocks' for 2013.

“We are delighted that Hard Knocks will be returning this summer and excited for our return to the AFC North and the Cincinnati Bengals franchise," Ken Hershman, President of HBO Sports, said in a release. “With playoff appearances three of the past four seasons, the Bengals have built a terrific young team, and we are extremely grateful to both Coach Marvin Lewis and the entire organization for agreeing to participate.

"The series has become captivating television with appeal far beyond the hardcore football fan. Hard Knocks is a cornerstone franchise at HBO Sports."
