“The biggest question everyone is probably thinking is – why now? Why choose this moment to tell my story? The short of it is I’ve spent enough time letting other people speak for me. It’s time for my truth,” said Anthony.

“I look forward to viewers finally having the opportunity to hear about my journey in my own words,” he added. “Westbrook Studios, Falkon Entertainment and my team at Creative 7 have been immensely supportive of my vision for this project and I am proud that we have been able to make this series a reality.”

It is unclear how many episodes this will be, but it is an anticipated venture considering Carmelo Anthony’s expansive career.
