Serena Williams, the best tennis player in the world, announces an ESPN documentary series at Disney Upfront

The project led off Disney’s upfront presentation to ad buyers in New York. Williams herself took the stage to unveil the series. She said he wanted to appear at the event because “you’re talking about building connections with fans and our family is super-obsessed with Disney.”

Gesturing toward her stomach, she added, “My big plan was to break my baby news at the Disney upfront, but the Met Gala got in the way of those plans.”

In the Arena: Serena Williams, she added, will be “an unflinching account of my life and my 23 Grand Slam victories — not counting doubles.”

The project follows the top-rated Man in the Arena: Tom Brady, which profiled the Hall of Fame-bound quarterback in 2022.

In a career spanning more than two decades, Williams has revolutionized the sport of tennis and also served as an inspiration for up-and-coming athletes and a wide array of others.

Through it all, Serena fights to maintain her place atop the tennis world while juggling the transformational experience of starting a family.”
