In April, Variety announced that a four-part documentary series following Spanish basketball great Pau Gasol had gone into production and was tracking his return to European basketball at 40 years old and following a serious foot injury which required surgery in 2019. Now, Spanish fans will be able to catch the yet-untitled special on Amazon Prime Video, after the streamer picked up the exclusive rights in a deal brokered by Prime Video Content Spain head Ricardo Cabornero and Fernando “Ferran” Prieto on behalf of the filmmakers.
Worldwide rights outside of Spain are still available and being handled by Rtg Features out of the U.S.
Sports documentary veteran Oriol Bosch (“Andrés Iniesta: The Unexpected Hero”) directs the series’ four episodes, produced by PG Productions, Rtg Features and Think450, the content and partnership engine of the National Basketball Players Association (Nbpa).

Production is underway on a four-episode docuseries centering on top basketball player Pau Gasol, Variety can reveal exclusively. The series chronicles Gasol, the two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers and six-time NBA All-Star, as he winds down his professional career.

Gasol’s last NBA game was in March 2019. In May of that year, he underwent surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left foot and has been working to get back on the court ever since. Last month, Gasol re-signed with Fc Barcelona—where his professional career began over 20 years ago—as he prepares to chase an elusive Olympic gold medal in Tokyo this summer.
