Michael B. Jordan is not only serious about his work in front of the camera, but also his work behind the camera as well.
Earlier this week it was announced, that the 29-year old recently launched his own production company, Outlier Productions.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he signed a multiyear first look film and TV production deal with Skydance Media.
He already has his plate full as he works on his first project, a new show titled, “Apollo Park.” The show’s synopsis is centered around, “a young basketball player’s rapid rise to professional fame and the effects of his success on his family and community back in inner-city Detroit.”
The show was co-created by Eric Amadio, who will also write the shows script and serve as a producer alongside Jordan.
When it comes to his new project, Michael B. Jordan said, “I love telling true, modern stories and Apollo Park — an underdog tale about a very real and very heroic hustler who defies stereotypes and thrives against great odds — has long been a passion project of mine. Eric and I are excited to join forces with the incredible creative team at Skydance to share it with the world.”
Congrats to Michael B. Jordan as he continues to make those boss moves.
