After four feature films, Rambo is ready to conquer the small screen. Entertainment One is developing a Rambo TV series with Avi Lerner and Nu Image, and Sylvester Stallone is being courted to be involved on a creative level as well as potentially reprise his iconic role as the original Rambo.

“We’re thrilled to join forces with a renowned producer like Avi and the Nu Image team. The ability to fuse the big screen and the small screen through Avi’s feature film expertise and eOne’s domestic production capabilities and international distribution infrastructure, makes for a highly complementary partnership,” stated John Morayniss, CEO, eOne Television. “Rambo fans cover all demographics and we’re confident that we’ll quickly find this series a home.”

“I’m happy to be partnering with a prolific company like Entertainment One who has a track record of creating high-quality programming for their broadcast partners around the world,” added Lerner. “And I’m excited by the prospect of collaborating again with my good friend Sly for an encore in this next phase of the Rambo legacy.”

The series will be shopped to networks.
