‘Wozniacki & Lee’ is next Viaplay Original
- English-language series follows former world number one tennis player Caroline Wozniacki and two-time NBA All-Star David Lee
- ‘Wozniacki & Lee’ produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production Denmark
- Viaplay to premiere at least 60 Originals in 2022
The reportage-driven portrait ‘Wozniacki & Lee’ will premiere on Viaplay on 21 March as the fast-growing streaming company’s latest Viaplay Original. Filmed over a 10-month period, the English-language show follows retired former world number one tennis player Caroline Wozniacki and her husband, two-time NBA All-Star David Lee, as they enter parenthood while reflecting on their elite-level sports careers.
In ‘Wozniacki & Lee’, Caroline and David invite viewers into their lives before and after the birth of their daughter, Olivia. The six-part series features contributions from tennis stars Serena Williams and Agnieszka Radwańska as well as triple NBA champion Draymond Green. Caroline and David’s families both participate in the show, which also offers extensive insights into the previously untold story of Caroline’s relationship with her father and coach, Piotr.
Caroline Wozniacki and David Lee: “For many years it’s been about us, and becoming parents is a new and very different chapter in our lives. It’s always a bit nerve-wracking to share a personal story, but being part of this documentary has given us the possibility to look back at our careers and share the most fantastic story in our lives: becoming parents to Olivia.”
Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group Chief Content Officer: “Caroline and David’s discipline, training and routines took them to the very top as sportspeople. Now they have an even bigger goal – to be the best parents for their little daughter, Olivia. We’re looking forward to giving Viaplay viewers a unique glimpse into the couple’s life, as part of our rapidly expanding slate of compelling factual and sports-related Originals.”
‘Wozniacki & Lee’ is produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production Denmark.
In January, Viaplay announced a multi-year partnership with reigning Formula 1 World Drivers’ Champion Max Verstappen that will see the superstar Dutch driver feature in exclusive content for Viaplay viewers.
