- Michael B. Jordan says the ‘Creed’ TV spin-off is happening.
- It’ll be focused on Donnie’s daughter, Amara.
- Amazon MGM is backing the series.
He might be focused on other projects right now (more on those lower down the page), but Michael B. Jordan hasn’t totally forgotten about the ‘Creed’ world. In fact, he’s looking to keep it growing.
“You can’t run from your past.”
Release Date: Mar 3, 2023
Run Time: 1 hr 56 min
Budget: $75,000,000
Here’s what Jordan told Variety’s Awards Chatter podcast:
“We’re spinning off doing Adonis’s daughter, Amara’s story, the television show that’s picked up at Amazon. So you’ll be seeing different parts of the Creed-verse, I like to call it. These little IPs are going to keep the universe alive without it being completely reliant on just me to push it through the finish line every time, as a boxer. I’ll be adjacent.”

What else is happening with the ‘Creed’ movies?

Following the success of ‘Creed III’, which Jordan stepped up to direct as well as star in, there has been talk for a while about a fourth.
In late 2023, Jordan himself went on the record to say that another big screen outing was “for sure.”
But there hasn’t been much forward movement on that front, since Jordan has been keeping himself occupied elsewhere.
Still, him talking up the Amara TV series at least means it’s still on his mind.
The show would focus on the daughter of Donnie (Jordan) and Tessa Thompson’s Bianca, who was played in ‘Creed III’ by Mila Davis-Kent. She has to deal with hearing issues (which Bianca also has) and is showing interest in boxing like her father.
So we may well see that crop up in the show. And that’s not the only TV series in the works –– one featuring the Delphi gym as seen in the movies is also developing.
What is Michael B. Jordan working on?
Most recently reuniting with regular collaborator Ryan Coogler for the wildly successful ‘Sinners,’ Jordan is currently busy with his second directorial outing, a remake of ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ for Amazon MGM.
That one features the likes of Adria Arjona, Pilou Asbæk and Lily Gladstone and is currently scheduled to hit cinemas on March 5, 2027.
Elsewhere, he’s attached to various projects, including a new John Clark movie adapted from ‘Rainbow Six’, and is rumored to be joining the new ‘Miami Vice’ movie as Ricardo Tubbs.
