Paramount+ on Wednesday dropped the first trailer and key art for the new Stallone family reality series that follows the Rocky and Rambo star, wife Jennifer Flavin Stallone, and daughters Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet, as it offers viewers a seat at the table of one of Hollywood’s most famous families.

Paramount+ describes Stallone’s reality show: “After playing some of the most legendary characters in cinematichistory, three-time Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone is ready togive cameras access to what he would consider the greatest role of hislifetime: Dad.” (The actor, writer, director, and producer received his first Oscar nomination for writing and starring in 1976’s Rocky, Stallone’s most famous role that earned him his first Best Supporting Actor nomination 40 years later in the Ryan Coogler-directed Creed.)

The series marks Stallone’s second collaboration with the Paramount streaming service after Tulsa King, the hit crime drama from Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan that has already been renewed for a second season.

“I thought [the reality show] would be the ultimate home movie,” Stallone recently told The Hollywood Reporter about the reality series. “This is a chance where I’m going to be with my kids under a workcondition where they get to see me in action and I get to see them inaction. What you will see is the real truth. This is a greatopportunity. I don’t look at it as stooping to conquer. But each timeyou go in a different direction, people go, ‘Oh God, you must be in[financial] trouble.’ Just the opposite.”

Stallone also confirmed the eight-episode series would address his split from Flavin and their subsequent reconciliation: “Ofcourse it’s part of the show. It’s the John Lennon thing: ‘Life is whathappens when you’re making other plans.’”
