Cristiano Ronaldo Begins Production of His First Drama Series 'Day 1s'

Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has begun production of his first television series titled "Day 1s," marking a new step into the entertainment industry just days after announcing his retirement from international play with the Portuguese national team.

Ronaldo announced the start of work on the series via his social media accounts, stating: "Exciting news! Production has begun on my first TV series, Day 1s. More coming soon!"

The drama is set in the world of British football, highlighting the commercial aspects of the game, including power struggles, negotiations, and relationships within one of the major player agencies.

British actor Damian Lewis plays the prominent agent Stanley Dalton, while former French footballer Thierry Henry and British rapper Dave are also associated with the project, with Dave participating in the work.

The series is produced by studio "UR·Marv," which Ronaldo founded in 2025 in partnership with British director Matthew Vaughn, known for the film "X-Men: First Class."

Ronaldo participates in the project as an executive producer and is expected to appear on camera as himself, marking his first acting experience in a scripted drama.

The series represents a new addition to the investments of the Saudi club Al-Nassr star, which include fashion, hospitality, and media sectors, although no release date or broadcasting platform has been announced yet.
