Religion Of Sports, Ensemble & Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment Partner On Women’s Sports Programming Slate ‘Next Is Now’
'Next Is Now,' a Religion of Sports-produced women's sports programming slate for Roku, is in the works, the company announced today.
A mix of docuseries and short-form content tailored for TV, streaming platforms, and social media, Next Is Now ‘s initial programming includes The Fastest Six Weeks in Sports, a series documenting the intense period between the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament and the start of the WNBA season, which will follow top draft prospects and veteran athletes as they transition through this high-stakes window. Lauren Fisher, VP, Creative Director, Religion of Sports, called them “a wellspring of powerful and captivating stories—tales of extraordinary talent, resilience, and triumph that have been unfolding for decades,” while underscoring that coverage of the arena “has barely moved since the 1980s.” Earlier this year, ROS also produced the Hulu docuseries In the Arena: Serena Williams, which follows the tennis legend, key figures throughout her life, and the events of her career, told from her own perspective.
