Selome Hailu Amazon Prime Video has greenlit “The Greatest,” the first-ever authorized scripted series about the life of Muhammad Ali.
Jaalen Best will star as Ali while Ben Watkins, creator of Amazon’s upcoming Alex Cross series, is set as showrunner. “The Greatest” was produced in collaboration with Ali’s estate, with his widow Lonnie Ali serving as executive producer.
The series’ official description reads, “The amazing victories and defeats that made Ali a legend, both in and out of the ring, have been well documented and while those landmark events will live in ‘The Greatest,’ the heartbeat of the story is fueled by all the moments that took place outside of the spotlight.
The world remembers an icon, but ‘The Greatest’ is about a man, a husband, a father, a brother and a son. Ali’s life rights were originally acquired by executive producer Josh Wakely, who brought the project to Amazon.
