Cristiano Ronaldo is expanding his career beyond the football pitch, stepping further into the entertainment industry with his first television series, &lsquo;Day 1s&rsquo;.
The Portuguese football superstar announced the news on his official Instagram account, sharing behind-the-scenes photographs alongside British filmmaker and producer Matthew Vaughn. He also confirmed that production had begun, writing: &ldquo;Great news! Production of my first TV show, Day 1s, has just started. More to come!&rdquo;
Ronaldo is collaborating with Vaughn, best known for directing the &lsquo;Kingsman&rsquo; franchise, on the football-themed drama, which stars British actor Damian Lewis as Stanley Dalton, a fictional football agent navigating the competitive world of professional football representation.

Based on an original idea by football agent Darren Dein, &lsquo;Day 1s&rsquo; is also expected to feature French football legend Thierry Henry and British rapper Dave, according to Variety. Ronaldo is serving as an executive producer, with reports suggesting he is also expected to make his scripted acting debut.
The project is being developed through UR&bull;Marv, the production studio established by Ronaldo and Vaughn in 2025. Their partnership brings together the football star&rsquo;s growing entertainment ambitions and Vaughn&rsquo;s experience in film production.
&lsquo;Day 1s&rsquo; has also drawn comparisons with Globo&rsquo;s Brazilian drama &lsquo;The Playoffs&rsquo;, which explores the world of football agents and stars Brazilian actor Cau&atilde; Reymond.
The announcement comes days after Ronaldo confirmed his retirement from international football on 5 November, bringing his 23-year career with Portugal to an end. He remains the national team&rsquo;s record goalscorer, with 143 goals. However, the 41-year-old is not retiring from professional football and continues to represent Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.
An official release date and broadcasting platform for &lsquo;Day 1s&rsquo; have yet to be announced.
