Lionsgate's 'Draft Day' Feature is being adapted for TV with a basketball twist by Lionsgate TV, SpingHill & Madison Wells
From Lionsgate TV, SpringHill, and Madison Wells, the series in development will capture the drama and excitement of watching star basketball players get drafted and fulfill their dreams, similar to the Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner and Chadwick Boseman film set in the world of the NFL. “This is a dynamic, character-driven project that perfectly captures the grind and hustle of professional sports,” added Jamal Henderson, Chief Content Officer, The SpringHill Company. I have long held the belief that there is an opportunity to move the story to scripted episodic, and now is the right time with SpringHill, a true leader in sports entertainment, joining us and Lionsgate in this exciting next chapter,” commented Gigi Pritzker, Madison Wells CEO.
