The word is out - LeBron James will produce and star in his own Disney channel TV series, "Becoming." According to Bleacher Report, the series is being developed by his Springhill Production Company along with ESPN films, and is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, October 26 at 8 PM on Disney XD.

Ohio reports that Disney has described the show as "a half-hour show for kids and families profiling the inspirational journeys of today's top athletes," and that the show will focus on children 6 to 11 years old with an emphasis on boys.

The show's pilot episode will center on James' childhood story, and will feature him alongside some of his former teammates, friends, and coaches. Some footage of his playing days will also be shown, specifically for when he was a part of the Northeast Ohio Shooting Stars team in the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). According to NESN, LeBron is also planning to feature other prominent athletes on the show as the story progresses.

LeBron stated, "I'm really excited about helping develop 'Becoming' and bringing this kind of program to kids...Sports and athletes were my inspiration growing up. It was the stories about Michael Jordan, Deion Sanders and Allen Iverson that kept me dreaming. When I learned that they had some of the same struggles and challenges I did, it made everything seem possible. That's what 'Becoming' is all about," further explaining the premise for his new show.

Maverick Carter of the Springhill Production Company commented, "This is a very exciting project for Springhill...we are looking at a variety of projects and this was an obvious choice. It's so true to the type of content for kids we want to do. ESPN Films understands how to bring sports stories alive. We do a lot of work with different projects focusing on kids, and the demand for programming like this is obvious."
