The Creed Universe is expanding at Prime Video with a new series, Delphi. Of course, Creed itself is a spinoff of the Rocky franchise, which consists of Rocky, Rocky II, Rocky III, Rocky IV, Rocky V, Rocky Balboa, and the Creed trilogy. Those three movies star Michael B. Jordan as Adonis “Donnie” Creed. He even made his directorial debut with the third movie in the trilogy, Creed III, in 2023.
Jordan will step back into the ring of the Creed world with the new spinoff series, only behind the scenes – so far. His Outlier Society will executive produce the new show. Meanwhile, executive producer Marco Ramírez will serve as showrunner for the series set within the franchise’s Delphi Gym.
Marking the first live-action series extension of the Creed Universe, Delphi will focus on young boxers at the gym. The series is executive produced by Michael B. Jordan and Liz Raposo via their Outlier Society production company, alongside Winkler Films’ Irwin Winkler, David Winkler, and Charles Winkler. Prime Video has not shared where the series will take place within the franchise’s timeline or any additional details, let alone any casting.
