The joint venture brings together one of the most decorated storytellers in sports television production history, and an award-winning media company with a proven track record and expertise in scripted film, TV, and interactive content. The NFL, NFL Films and Skydance Media today announced a partnership to create the premier global multi-sports production studio in the industry with Skydance Sports.

And now, they’ve teamed with the NFL for a joint venture for scripted and unscripted content that will use a lot of NFL Films’ expertise and resources. After creating Skydance Sports last October with prominent filmmaker Jon Weinbach as president, they’ve launched several sports projects, including scripted project The Owl with Religion of Sports, U.S./Mexico men’s soccer docuseries Good Neighbors (with Meadowlark Media and Ocellated Media, coming soon to Amazon’s Prime Video), and an upcoming documentary on Diana Taurasi.

Some of the notable feature films they’ve been involved with include Star Trek: Beyond, The Old Guard, Without Remorse, Top Gun: Maverick, and this fall’s The Greatest Beer Run Ever. David Ellison’s Skydance Media has had quite a run since its 2010 founding.
