Netflix is getting ready to take down Tom Brady.
And, for anyone who doesn’t know who he is, the streamer described him as “Gisele Bündchen’s husband,” as well as “an NFL sixth-round pick and ice cream fan.”
Barbecue will be the first in a series of new Netflix specials titled The Greatest Characters of All Time: GROATwith the streamer announcing on Tuesday that the first in DEVELOPE in particular will be the voice of “the greatest football player of all time.”
“To quote my good friend, Marshawn Lynch…“I’m here so I won’t be fined,” Brady said in a statement.
Robbie Praw, Netflix’s vice president of comedy and drama formats, said: “We can’t wait to name three-time Super Bowl-losing quarterback Tom Brady, who only returned to the NFL to delay the game. . “Seriously, it has been thrilling to work with the greatest footballer of all time on this project. No one is better at scoring goals and still coming out on top, so we know the odds of success will be easy for Brady. “
Brady will executive produce on a multirole roaster deal, with his own roasting company set to be filmed in 2023 following his next season in the NFL.
Roast is Hollywood’s latest move for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, who earlier this year said he was taking a break from the NFL only to decide to return to the Buccaneers a few weeks later. Brady will join Fox Sports as its top NFL analyst when he decides to retire. He is also producing and appearing in an upcoming movie about the trip starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Sally Field and Rita Moreno.
DEVELOPE Executive producers include Brady for 199 Productions; Casey Patterson for Casey Patterson Entertainment; and Jeff Ross and Carol Donovan.
Additional information and roasters will be announced at a later date.
