What Else Is Known So Far
Directed by Chris Weaver and showrun by Erik Powers, the series comes from Omaha Productions (in collaboration with WWE and NFL Films vibes). It dives deep into the writer’s room, contract talks, character builds, and the pressure of performing for massive crowds and global audiences.
