Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed that cameras are rolling on his first scripted television project, a football drama titled Day 1s.
The Portuguese superstar shared the news on social media on Thursday, posting photos from the set alongside the message: “Exciting news! Production of my first TV show, Day 1s, has just started. More to come!”
The series, developed through UR•Marv Studios — the production company Ronaldo co-founded with filmmaker Matthew Vaughn — is a scripted drama set in the high-stakes world of UK football agents.
It centres on the fictional elite agent Stanley Dalton, played by Damian Lewis (Homeland, Billions).
Ronaldo is serving as an executive producer and is expected to appear in the show.
The cast also includes former Arsenal and France star Thierry Henry and British rapper Dave.
The concept originated with real-life football agent Darren Dein, who represents Henry and is involved as an executive producer.
Behind-the-scenes images released with the announcement show Ronaldo with Vaughn, Lewis and Dave, as well as filming taking place in a club dressing room.
No release date or broadcaster has been confirmed yet.
The project marks Ronaldo’s first major move into scripted television following his recent retirement from international football with Portugal.
