Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel is teaming up with writer Virgil Williams (Mudbound, Criminal Minds) to develop a new drama series for NBC entitled Crusher’s Club, which will take place in a struggling boxing gym.
Variety reports that the series, penned by Williams, will take place in a boxing gym that serves as a second home for kids in one of the toughest neighbourhoods in Chicago. Struggling to survive, the gym gains an unlikely ally in Sonia, a single mom from the suburbs who’s found new purpose in her life.
The project is being produced by Diesel’s One Race Television, which has also recently set up reboots of Miami Vice at NBC and Get Christie Love! at ABC.
