\n Another major sports docuseries<\/a> is in the works, and this one has some major star power behind it.<\/p>\n

\n Lakers star LeBron James and his SpringHill Company is in talks with Peyton Manning\u2018s Omaha Productions and Barack and Michelle Obama\u2019s Higher Ground for a series that would follow professional basketball players, a source familiar with the discussions confirms to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. The format would bring the same app<\/a>roach to the NBA that Omaha\u2019s Quarterback <\/em>brought to the NFL.<\/p>\n

\n The NBA is also expected to be involved in the show, much as NFL Films is a partner on Quarterback<\/em>. The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, which first reported <\/a>the news<\/a>, says that the show will likely end on Netflix, where Higher Ground has a first-look deal, and where Quarterback <\/em>emerged as a successful addition to the genre earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s not immedia<\/a>tely clear which players the series would follow, though other series have tried to follow a mix of superstars and lesser-known players.<\/p>\n

\n SpringHill, founded by James and Maverick Carter, raised cash from RedBird, Nike, and Epic Game<\/a>s in 2021 at a $725 million valuation, and inked first-look deals with Disney and Universal for scripted TV and films, respectively. The company, which was behind the Space Jam reboot, among other media projects, has also served as a media incubator for other athletes, including tennis star Naomi Osaka.<\/p>\n

\n Manning\u2019s Omaha is behind the ESPN Manningcast Monday Night Football<\/em> alternate telecast, and Peyton\u2019s Places<\/em>, in addition to Quarterback<\/em>. The company raised money from Peter Chernin\u2019s North Road Company earlier this year. The company is working on season two of Quarterback<\/em>, though the QBs it will follow are yet to be revealed.<\/p>\n

\n Higher Ground has a film and TV deal with Netflix, and a podcast deal with Audible. The company has found success with its documentaries, with its latest acquisition, American Symphony<\/em>, seen as an Oscars contender.<\/p>\n

\n The sports docuseries genre, while not a new format, has seen a resurgence in recent years thanks in part to Netflix, which has seen series following the lives of Formula 1 drivers (Drive to Survive<\/em>) and PGA Tour golfers (Full Swing<\/em>), not to mention stars like Patrick Mahomes (Quarterback<\/em>) and David Beckham (Beckham<\/em>) rise to the top of its streaming charts.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
