​Arsenal icon Henry set to start in new TV drama series | OneFootball

Arsenal and France legend Thierry Henry is set to star in a television series.

The former Gunner will work with his agent Darren Dein and others as an executive producer for the show.

It is called Day 1's, and is set to have ten episodes. The show, which will chronicle the world of football, is being produced by Doug Ellion (Entourage) and Chris Case.

According to Deadline, the show will follow a young player named Dezmond King as he must cope with the new fame he has obtained through his footballing talent.

The show is being made by a UK production company, Marv.

"Entourage was one of my favourite TV shows and when Doug invited me on set to film my brief cameo appearance in the movie, I never would have thought that I would be part of bringing a new TV show to life," Henry said about the news.

"I'm also incredibly excited that Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman) has agreed to bring his vast expertise and knowledge to the series along with many more extremely talented individuals.

"Hopefully I can share some of my experiences as this topic is much closer to my heart."
