Amazon Prime Video has ordered the drama series “Delphi,” which is set in the gym featured in Michael B. Jordan’s Creed film franchise. The Creed trilogy itself is a spin-off of Sylvester Stallone’s iconic ‘Rocky’ franchise from the 1970s.
Marco Ramirez is to serve as show-runner and executive producer, with Jordan’s Outlier Society to executive produce the series about young boxers who train at the Delphi gym; however, exact plot details are being kept under wraps, with no casting announced as of press time (per Variety.)
In the “Creed” films, the Delphi Gym is operated by Tony “Little Duke” Evers Jr., the son of Apollo Creed’s longtime trainer Tony “Duke” Evers. Wood Harris portrayed Little Duke in all three of the “Creed” films.
Ramirez recently created and served as showrunner on the Hulu boxing drama “La Máquina” starring Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna, and Eiza González. He was also the co-developer of the Paramount+ reboot of “The Twilight Zone,” while his other credits include “Daredevil,” “The Defenders,” and “Fear the Walking Dead.”
“Delphi” will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
