Kansas City comes from Taylor Sheridan (Sicario) and Terence Winter (The Sopranos), with Winter serving as showrunner. David. Glaser, Ron Burkle, and Bob Yari of 101 Studios will executive produce.

Earlier this year, Stallone revealed that he was inspired to write a full pitch for a Rocky Balboa TV show. Stallone said the Rocky show might take place in the 1960s when Rocky was a 17-year-old. Amid the major events of the time–like the Civil Rights movement, the Moon landing, and Vietnam War–Robert “Rocky” Balboa was living a normal, plain life, Stallone wrote. Relatedly, Stallone also revealed this year that he will not appear in the upcoming Creed film, which marks the directorial debut for star Michael B. Jordan.

Stallone’s Rocky 4 director’s cut, titled Rocky Vs. Drago–The Ultimate Director’s Cut was recently released.
