Is Tom Brady going to have a TV series?
The Gotham Group plans to produce a scripted limited series named “The Patriot Way” to commemorate Tom Brady’s illustrious 20-season Patriots career.

The show will be adapted by screenwriters Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson. Ellen Goldsmith-Vein will produce the show for the Gotham Group. Interestingly, this marks the third collaboration between the screenwriters and authors.
