Overview
- Netflix, which was reported on Friday, Aug. 7, 2026, to be developing an untitled drama about the New York Yankees, has MLB Studios, Jason Bateman’s Aggregate Films and Josh Wakely attached as production partners.
- Reports say Josh Wakely secured the rights from Major League Baseball, developed the series concept, and will serve as an executive producer through his Grace: A Storytelling Company imprint.
- Named executive producers also include Jason Bateman and Michael Costigan for Aggregate Films, Nick Trotta for MLB Studios, and Brillstein Entertainment Partners’ Peter Sobiloff, Mike Sobiloff and Sean Mullin, plus Josh Glick, Daniel Cohan and Jon Liebman.
- The project is described as a multi‑era dramatization of the Yankees’ history but public details remain limited with no announced writer, showrunner, cast, episode order or release window.
- The move builds on Netflix’s expanded MLB relationship — which covers live events through 2028 — and follows a broader industry trend of streamers turning league partnerships into scripted IP, so the next signs to watch are staffing, casting and a formal series order.
