Derek Jeter getting the ESPN docuseries treatment

Deadline

The retired New York Yankees legend will be the focus of The Captain, which counts Spike Lee among its executive producers. Directed by Randy Wilkins, The Captain will use Jeter’s career “as a vessel to tell a larger cultural story that explores race, family, community, rivalries and more. The heartbeat of the project is candid access to the man who helped restore shine to a team, a city, and a culture.” Like Michael Jordan's The Last Dance, Jeter will help shape his docuseries.
