*LeBron James is expanding his off-the-court business into broadcast television.
With “Survivor’s Remorse” already soaring on cable’s Starz network, the NBA superstar’s SpringHill Entertainment has sold its first scripted project to a broadcast network. According to The Hollywood Reporter, his Warner Bros. Television-based production company has sold an untitled drama to NBC, which has handed out a script-plus-penalty commitment for the project about a brilliant doctor who specializes in treating the world’s greatest sports stars.
When the doctor undergoes a health crisis, it forces him to rethink his approach to medicine with the help of a gifted sports psychologist.
Renowned orthopedic/sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews is on board as an executive consultant.
SpringHill Entertainment’s James and Maverick Carter will also executive produce the drama. Matt O’Neill (feature “Bait & Switch”) will write the script with Nicolas Falacci and Cheryl Heuton. The latter two will serve as showrunners, if the drama moves to series.
