Varsity Blues TV Show In The Works With A Modern Twist

The modern take on Varsity Blues is being written by Tripper Clancy, known for penning 2019's Stuber and 2018's Hot Dog. Anne Fletcher of 27 Dresses and Netflix's Dumplin' is on board as director. Executive producing will be Mike Tollin and John Gatins. Tollin is a particularly interesting choice, as he has been a producer on other sports-based productions in the past, including the original Varsity Blues, Coach Carter, and Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream. Will that experience make him a particular asset to Varsity Blues, if it scores a series order?
