WNBA star Brittney Griner will partner exclusively with ESPN and Disney Entertainment Television to share her story in various projects released on their platforms. A documentary feature from ESPN Films and scripted series development with ABC Signature are in the works.
She will also sit down with Robin Roberts for her first exclusive interview since returning to the United States after her detainment in Russia.
The athlete was taken into custody in a Moscow-area airport in February 2022 for possession of hashish oil, an illegal substance in Russia. She had the oil, a cannabis product, in vaping cartridges when she was returning to play for her Russian club, UMMC Ekaterinburg.
