For those of you that might not know, Sylvester Stallone is all set to make his TV directing debut with a series called THE INTERNATIONAL starring Dolph Lundgren. And today we hear that CBS has given the one-hour drama series a pilot order!

The series will star Lundgren as

Anders Soto, a one-man covert black-ops team working for the U.N., who is called in to find asymmetrical solutions to the world’s most delicate and complex problems. He is part negotiator and part international spy.

Ken Sanzel (Reef Break, Numb3rs, Blue Bloods) will write and executive produce. In addition to directing, Stallone will executive produce under his Balboa Productions banner. Balboa Productions’ Braden Aftergood will also executive produce along with Tony Krantz of Flame Ventures and Craig Baumgarten. Lundgren will produce.

The last time Stallone and Lundgren teamed up was in CREED II, which begins when:

Against the wishes of trainer Rocky Balboa, Apollo Creed's son Adonis Johnson accepts a challenge from Russian boxer Ivan Drago's son. Under guidance from Rocky, Adonis trains for the showdown of his life — a date with destiny that soon becomes his obsession. Now, Johnson and Balboa must confront their shared legacy as the past comes back to haunt each man.

Steven Caple Jr. directed CREED II from a screenplay written by Juel Taylor and Sylvester Stallone from a story by Sascha Penn and Cheo Hodari Coker based on characters created by Sylvester Stallone. Stallone produced the sequel along with Kevin King-Templeton, Charles Winkler, William Chartoff, David Winkler, and Irwin Winkler. It starred Stallone, Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Wood Harris, Phylicia Rashad, and Dolph Lundgren. Warner Bros. Pictures released the film in theaters back on November 21, 2018. Buy it on Blu-ray HERE.
