Development
In collaboration with ESPN+, the first season was produced by Peyton Manning's production company Omaha Productions, and Words & Pictures.[1][2] Manning and Clark were executive producers for the show.[1][3] In an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Manning explained that during the editing for Quarterback, the Omaha Productions team discussed working on a similar series relating to women's basketball.[4][5] During pre-production, it was Clark who insisted the docuseries include other college players rather than only focus on her senior season.[6] Kristen Lappas directed the series' first season.[7]
The first season starred Caitlin Clark, Kamilla Cardoso, and Kiki Rice during their NCAA Division I women's basketball careers, specifically the 2023–24 season.[7] Clark and Cardoso were featured during their senior seasons with the Iowa Hawkeyes and the South Carolina Gamecocks, respectively.[8] Meanwhile, footage of Rice featured her during her sophomore season with the UCLA Bruins.[8]
