Starz confirmed they’re moving forward on Survivor’s Remorse from NBA star LeBron James, Tom Werner (Chairman of the Boston Red Sox), Mike O’Malley, Maverick Carter and Paul Wachter. The half-comedy will shoot in Atlanta, Georgia and will debut a six-episode season one later this year on Starz.
“Ever since I got cut from the freshman hoop team at Bishop Guertin High School in 1980, I’ve wanted to write about my love and hatred of basketball,” said Mike O’Malley, series writer and executive producer. “Starz has given us great freedom to explore an authentic world inspired by Maverick and LeBron. Tom’s legendary TV career and his experiences as a professional sports owner combined with Paul’s wealth of business and entertainment industry relationships have given this team a truly strong foundation to build a successful series.”
“Mike has infused the world of Survivor’s Remorse with humor and heart,” added Chris Albrecht, Starz CEO. “Along with LeBron, Maverick, Tom and Paul, we feel we really have an all-star team to capture the complexity and comedy inherent to this series.”
The Plot of Survivor’s Remorse:
The story follows Cam Calloway, a basketball phenom in his early 20’s who is suddenly thrust into the limelight after signing a multi-million dollar contract with a professional basketball team in Atlanta. Cam, along with his cousin and confidant Reggie Vaughn, move to Georgia to start Cam’s journey to success. The two confront the challenges of carrying opportunistic family members and their strong ties to the impoverished community that they come from. Cam, Reggie and an unforgettable group of characters wrestle with the rewards and pitfalls of stardom, love and loyalty.
