Chiney Ogwumike’s Victorious Launches with WNBA Comedy Series ‘The W’ on Peacock

The scripted series, inspired by Ogwumike's career and agent partnership, marks the first major project from her women-focused production company.

'The W' is the first scripted TV series centered on the WNBA, developed by Chiney Ogwumike and produced by Peacock.
The series, co-written by 'GLOW' creators Carly Mensch and Liz Flahive, explores the dynamics of a rookie WNBA player and her agent.
Victorious, Ogwumike's newly launched production company, focuses on amplifying women's sports stories across media formats.
Peacock’s production of 'The W' aligns with NBCUniversal’s broader investment in women’s sports, including its WNBA media rights agreements.
Ogwumike and her agent Allison Galer previously co-produced the Emmy-nominated WNBA documentary '144,' showcasing their storytelling expertise.
