“I’m also incredibly excited that Matthew Vaughn has agreed to bring his vast expertise and knowledge to the series along with many more extremely talented individuals.
“I love writing about friends who are family and this show gives us a great new platform to do that,” Ellin said in a statement.
Hopefully I can share some of my experiences as this topic is much closer to my heart.”
In his near-25-year career, BAFTA nominee Matthew Vaughn has dominated the big screen while only flirting with executive producer work in television and now he’s found his first directorial project with the UK soccer drama Day 1’s, in which he is partnering up with Entourage creator Doug Ellin and French soccer star Thierry Henry, according to Deadline.
