deadline.com/2022/10/operation-kickboxer-series-in-works-from-todd-garner-dimitri-logothetis-1235142950/I thought this project needed a thread as it is related to JCVD. Operation: Kickboxer will be a martial arts-driven espionage series which finds the youngest Sloane brother, Michael, thrust into the world of international geopolitical intrigue. In order to earn his freedom of him, Sloane must go undercover as an MMA contender, using his clout to gain access to targets around the world, while remaining in contention for the champion title belt. Marenzi, who has helped launch global scripted franchises including Stargate, NCIS, Vikings, Shadowhunters and Killing Eve as an ex-Paramount, MGM and Endeavor Content TV sales head, will soon present the new series at the Italian film market MIA, with an eye toward a production start in 2023. So, at the moment Jean Claude is not involved but one of the producers is Dimitri Logothetis who not long ago said in an interview that he would be working with JC again. Come on, you can't do Rocky without Stallone and you can't do Kickboxer without Van Damme!

I think Alain Moussi is not involved this time and so JC could play his original role as Kurt Sloane as the series is not about Kurt but Michael, really curious to know which actor/martial artist they will choose for that role.
