What happened: A camera crew is expected to follow James throughout the 2026-27 season with Philadelphia. The planned series would also draw from archival material collected across his NBA career.
Why it matters: The project would turn James' move to Philadelphia into both a season chronicle and a broader account of his career. Its format would invite direct comparisons with Michael Jordan's “The Last Dance.”
By the numbers: James is 41 and signed with Philadelphia for two years and $8 million. Jordan's documentary ran 10 parts and won the 2020 Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series.
What to watch: The next milestone is a finalized agreement, followed by production during the 2026-27 season.
