EXCLUSIVE: Prime Video has announced new installments of its athlete prank franchise Eli Manning Presents: The Undercovers, centered on Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
The first episode, featuring pass rusher Parsons undercover as a waiter at a Dallas Cowboys fan event, premieres September 25th, just ahead of the anticipated showdown between Parsons’ former team and his current Green Bay Packers. Then, on October 16 — a week ahead of the Vikings’ showdown with the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football — star wide receiver Jefferson goes undercover as a nature photographer to get the inside scoop on the fast-growing sport of flag football.
Presented by Prime Video Sports, Eli Manning Presents: The Undercovers is produced by Range Studios and Ten Till Productions. The show is executive produced by Mark Herwick and Simon Andreae of Range Studios; Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Tim Brown, and Jamie Horowitz of Ten Till Productions; and showrunner J.D. Amato.
“I’m so excited for the next two installments of The Undercovers franchise,” said Range Studios’ Co-President of Non-Scripted Television, Mark Herwick. “There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing the fans’ faces light up when they realize they’ve just spent the day with their favorite athlete. It never gets old!”
Said EP-showrunner Amato, “Our outstanding team has so much fun making this show with such wonderful sports communities. We can’t wait for fans to see a different side of these superstar athletes.”
