What unfolds is the hopeful and unforgettable story of an underdog team that comes together to galvanize their town, reclaim their way of life, and turn their shared grief into an unstoppable superpower.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI\u2019ve carried South Dorothy and its people in my heart for as long as I can remember. To finally bring that world to life with my Grizzly family at 21 Laps and Netflix is nothing short of a dream come true. Big love and gratitude to my partners for this opportunity, and for all their unyielding support over the years,\u201d shared Naveda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The hockey series is Netflix\u2019s latest collaboration with 21 Laps, following their smash hit <em>Stranger Things<\/em>; <em>All the Light We Cannot See,<\/em> based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Anthony Doerr; <em>The Perfect Couple<\/em>, based on the New York Times bestseller by Elin Hilderbrand; and <em>The Adam Project.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThis show has long been a 21 Laps favorite and one of the best pieces we have had the privilege of developing and supporting.\u00a0Nick and Bridget have built a world and ensemble of characters that are rooted in authenticity and a huge heart, which, not surprisingly, attracted such great talent, including our director, Trey Edward Shults, and lead Michelle Monaghan. With its visceral sports backdrop and a story grounded in deep humanity, we cannot wait to bring this show to a global audience,\u201d Levy said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Executive producers also include Shawn Levy (<em>Stranger Things<\/em>, <em>The Perfect Couple<\/em>), Dan Levine (<em>Arrival<\/em>, <em>All the Light We Cannot See<\/em>), and Robert Atwood (<em>Monarch: Legacy of Monsters<\/em>) for 21 Laps.
