Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing to embark on a new experience outside the green rectangle after joining a drama project called Day 1s, in which he participates as an executive producer in addition to a special appearance within the events of the work.
The series explores the behind-the-scenes world of British football from a different angle, highlighting the world of player agents and the negotiations and conflicts that take place behind the scenes to complete deals, in a dramatic framework that combines suspense and a sporting character.
Also participating in the project is French football legend Thierry Henry, who appears alongside Ronaldo in an experiment that blends football stars with the world of acting.
The series stars British actor Damian Lewis, known for his roles in Homeland and Billions, playing a prominent players' agent. The concept is based on a vision presented by Darren Dean, Thierry Henry's agent.
Day 1s is the first production of UR.Marv Studios, which was founded by Ronaldo in partnership with British director Matthew Vaughn, in a move that reflects the Saudi Al-Nassr captain’s inclination towards investing in the film and television industry.
Filming of the series has already begun in the British capital, London, where scenes were filmed inside the Barnet FC stadium. The work is expected to present a mix of drama and realism with comedic touches, targeting football fans around the world.
