Christopher Meloni and William H. Macy will star in This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman‘s upcoming Hulu series set in the world of pro football. The untitled drama is written and executive produced by Fogelman and executive produced by Jess Rosenthal with David Ellison, Jesse Sisgold, and Jason T. Reed for Skydance Sports.
Meloni is no stranger to the world of football – he was the quarterback of his high school at St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes School in Virginia; he and the team were inducted into the school’s hall of fame in 2007 for their undefeated season in 1978.
The series was originally announced in October 2024. Set inside the world of the NFL, the series has a generational family component to it, with NFL team owner Hank Durkin portrayed by Macy, and Meloni playing the team’s head coach, Danny Roarke.
