After the controversy surrounding the national team and Cristiano Ronaldo’s announcement that he was leaving international football, it now seems time for new projects for the Portuguese player. CR7 announced on Thursday the start of production of the series “Day 1s”, with British director Matthew Vaughn.
“Exciting news! Production on my first television show, Day 1s, has just begun. More news soon”, reads a post on Instagram from the Portuguese star.
The post also includes an image of Damian Lewis alongside rapper Dave, who is also expected to be in the series, and a photograph taken in Brentford’s dressing room.
In July this year, the newspaper The Sun (source in Portuguese)reported on the project. According to the paper, the Al-Nassr forward is executive producer of the fiction series, which revolves around a football agent in the United Kingdom, played by Damian Lewis, the star of the series “Homeland”.
The concept comes from Darren Dein, the agent who represents Thierry Henry and who, according to the British publication, which cites a source from the television world, will also be part of the cast. As well as producing the series, Ronaldo may also appear in some episodes.
The series is one of the first major projects from UR•Marv Studios, a production company founded by Cristiano Ronaldo in partnership with director Matthew Vaughn, known for films such as “Kick-Ass” and “Kingsman”, in April 2025.
The company is also expected to unveil in the coming days the film “Stuntnuts”, which will feature big cinema names such as Matt Damon and Chris Hemsworth.
