\n\t\u201cRally<\/a>\u201d has been picked up to series at Prime Video. The drama is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Entertainment 360 and Amazon MGM Studios. <\/p>\n

\n\tPer the official synopsis, \u201cRally\u201d takes place \u201cat a hyper-competitive elite tennis academy,\u201d where \u201cambitious young players discover that the loneliest sport in the world demands sacrificing the very connections that might be the only thing that makes winning worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe inspiration for \u2018Rally\u2019 came from a deeply personal place \u2013 watching my kids train and navigate the intense pressure, dedication, and heartbreak of elite junior tennis at the IMG Academy,\u201d says Casady. \u201cTo build this world alongside a master storyteller like Julie Plec, and to ground it in the unmatched, authentic perspective of a true legend like Andre Agassi, is a remarkable privilege. We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Universal Studio Group and Amazon MGM Studios to bring this high-stakes, emotional journey to a global audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAgasi adds, \u201cI am eager for Justin and I to lend our experiences to help the incredible \u2018Rally\u2019 team. At this stage of our lives having an endeavor that allows us to work with the best in class in what they do and hopefully contribute to the process, is an exciting challenge. We are all aligned in creating an entertaining and most importantly, authentic look at a beautifully complicated sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCummins says that she\u2019s a major tennis fan, noting, \u201cThis has been the most fun we\u2019ve had at work in a while. People are as intrigued by the life of the players as much as the thrills on the court and it\u2019s exciting to explore so many stories through the incredible characters Julie created. Working with Andre, Justin and the entire team has been a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPlec, who has an overall deal at Universal Television. \u201cJulie has an exceptional talent for crafting emotionally rich, irresistibly addictive worlds,\u201d says president of Universal TV Erin Underhill. \u201c\u2019Rally\u2019 delivers the dynamic relationships, ambition and heart that make Julie\u2019s storytelling so compelling.
