Toronto is taking center stage, as ESPN announced plans for Setting The Tempo, a four-part docuseries on the launch of Canada’s first WNBA franchise.
Backers include Tempo investors Serena Williams and Masai Ujiri, alongside actor Ryan Reynolds and Good Morning America host Robin Roberts.
“Setting the Tempo presents a rare opportunity for fans to see what it truly takes to build a successful organization, shining a spotlight on the female executives whose decisions and vision are laying the foundation for the future,” ESPN Originals VP & Executive Producer Lindsay Rovegno said in a statement.
Currently without a premiere date, the series follows head coach Sandy Brondello, GM Monica Wright Rogers, and stars Brittney Sykes and Marina Mabrey as they navigate the team’s inaugural season.
