The six-part series is titled “Unruly.” It is described as an unapologetically Black, no-holds-barred telling of Johnson’s life. The first ever Black heavyweight boxing champion, the show would follow Johnson’s rise to greatness and the costs he paid for his skin color and defiance.
Dominique Morisseau will serve as writer and executive producer on the series now, with Ali executive producing under his Known Wonder banner in addition to starring. His other TV roles include a recent turn on “Ramy” Season 2 and in “Luke Cage” Season 1. He also appeared in “House of Cards,” which also netted him an Emmy nomination. On the film side, Ali won two Oscars for his roles in both “Moonlight” and “Green Book.” He is also attached to star in a new “Blade” film for Marvel.
