Michael B. Jordan is making the Creed universe bigger, and the cast assembled to bring it to life on streaming is making a serious statement. Prime Video’s upcoming spinoff series Delphi has revealed an ensemble that includes Wood Harris, Demián Bichir, André Holland, and Andre Royo, joined by Sofia Black-D’Elia, Juan Castano, Benji Santiago, and Victoria Vourkoutiotis. The series is set inside the iconic Delphi Boxing Academy, the legendary gym familiar to fans of the film trilogy, and shifts its focus from championship glory to the quieter, grittier world of young fighters working their way up from the bottom.
Michael B. Jordan continues to shape the project through his Outlier Society production banner, with Marco Ramirez serving as writer and showrunner. Ramirez brings relevant credentials to the role, having previously worked on the boxing drama La Máquina, and his involvement signals a creative ambition that extends well beyond a straightforward franchise extension.
A familiar face returns to anchor the Michael B. Jordan spinoff
Among the new cast members, Harris brings the most direct connective tissue to the existing Creed films. He reprises his role as Tony “Little Duke” Evers Jr., the son of Apollo Creed’s storied trainer, a character whose presence grounds Delphi firmly within the mythology that fans have followed across three films. His return gives the series an immediate sense of continuity while the new cast members are given room to introduce fresh dynamics and storylines.
The casting carries an additional layer of significance for longtime television fans. Both Harris and Royo are alumni of The Wire, the acclaimed HBO drama where Jordan himself played the memorable role of Wallace early in his career. Bringing that trio back into proximity, this time on the other side of the camera for Jordan, gives Delphi an unspoken resonance that the creative team appears to have embraced deliberately.
Michael B. Jordan is building something much larger at Amazon
Delphi represents only one corner of a growing partnership between Jordan and Amazon. His Outlier Society banner is simultaneously developing The Greatest, a limited series built around the life of Muhammad Ali, adding a biographical dimension to what is becoming an increasingly ambitious slate of projects. Jordan is also attached as executive producer on Amazon’s adaptation of Fourth Wing, the widely read fantasy novel that has generated considerable anticipation among readers and streaming audiences alike.
Filming on Delphi is already underway in Los Angeles, though Prime Video has not yet announced an official premiere date. The combination of a recognizable creative universe, a talented ensemble, and a showrunner with a track record in the genre positions the series as one of the more compelling additions to the streaming calendar once it does arrive.
For fans of the Rocky and Creed legacy, the expansion into television feels like a natural next step. And with Michael B. Jordan steering the direction from behind the camera, the expectation is that the transition will carry the same emotional weight the films have delivered across decades.
