The Good Morning America host has sold Hobbs, his first scripted foray, to ABC, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The drama, which has received a script commitment, follows Tommy Hobbs, a former Heisman trophy winner who joins the Miami police force after not being drafted by the NFL, as well as a meticulous, rule-following detective who has trained her whole life to become a police officer.
Michael Caleo (The Sopranos, Rescue Me) will pen the script and exec produce the ABC Studios drama alongside Strahan and his SMAC Entertainment partner Constance Schwartz-Morini. The latter is a former NFL strategist who teamed with the NFL Hall of Famer in 2011 to launch SMAC — a talent management, music, branding and production company. The company next has docuseries Religion of Sports due in the fall on the Audience Network.
