Networks Bidding On New NFL TV Series That Chronicles History Of The Sport

The NFL is "eyeing a big-scope historical drama project about its past" and has "teamed with filmmaker Jon Favreau and producer Kevin Misher for a sprawling scripted series that chronicles the history of football in America," according to Nellie Andreeva of DEADLINE.com. The series, which does not have a writer yet, "follows the evolution of the sport decade by decade up to the present" and is "envisioned to run over multiple seasons." Interested networks, which include current NFL TV partners NBC and Fox, as well as A&E/History, were "asked to submit offers." The process has been "spearheaded by WME, which reps the NFL." After a two-week "pause to organize things," negotiations with the nets pursuing the project are "expected to begin next week." There also "might be a surprising, out-of-the-box play along with the traditional network agreements that would be considered" (DEADLINE.com, 9/25).
