Michael B. Jordan officially announced a Creed spin-off tv series in development

Attention, Creed fandom. The news is not just a rumor anymore. Michael B. Jordan has disclosed that a spin-off movie from the Creed series is in the making. The Creed universe is now expanding through Delphi, which will be a live-action series based on the Delphi Boxing Academy.

As per the May 12, 2025, report by Deadline, Jordan said:

"Building the Creed universe is something that I’m really excited about. The series that takes us back to where it all began. What I love about this story is that it stays true to what the Rocky and Creed franchise is all about: hard work, determination, fighting for something bigger than yourself."

This announcement has sparked immediate conversation among the audience, who are eager to know how the Creed saga will be portrayed on television. With Jordan approving the project as an executive producer, the series goes in a new and different way for the Creed universe

Delphi is the only confirmed expansion of the franchise that was officially disclosed during Amazon's 2025 upfront presentation and is the basis for any future world-building that Jordan has talked about.

What Michael B. Jordan officially confirmed about the Creed Spin-Off?

Michael B. Jordan has given the green light for a spin-off series to Creed, and the confirmed project that has been singled out is Delphi. Jordan portrayed the enlargement of the Creed universe as something he visualizes as a long-drawn process, but the only undeniably tangible act that has been taken so far, backed up by official news, is Delphi.

Delphi: The sole authentic Creed TV series

Amazon Prime Video officially disclosed Delphi as the first of the Creed universe's official extensions beyond films during the May 2025 Upfronts event. It will center around the Delphi Academy, which has been a constant presence in both Rocky and Creed movies.

The primary facts remain:

Title: Delphi
Platform: Amazon Prime Video
Format: Live-action series
Setting: Delphi Boxing Academy from the Rocky/Creed franchise
Focus: A group of young boxers training at the academy
Executive Producer: Michael B. Jordan, through the Outlier Society
Producing Partners: Winkler Films (the original Creed producers)
Showrunner: Marco Ramirez
Status: Ordered series
Release Date: Not announced
Cast: Not announced

Why is Delphi significant for the Creed franchise?

It is primarily a historical context that decides to locate the JFK boxing academy in the Delphi spin-off of the first Creed movie, most justified. The Delphi location has been the setting of a significant number of movies, and the Creed series has therefore expanded its universe into a megacity of different experiences from the single Adonis Creed encounter.

Mentorship and training culture have been the prime themes of the Creed franchise in the boxing world. Thus, Delphi turns out to be the best spot to start a series that will discuss and demonstrate these themes through community and interconnected stories, the drawing of characters that are new and remaining under the film's continuity.

Moreover, the creators are given ample space for their narrative where they can bring in new fighters, rivalries, and changes in training, all the while being geographically close to the world that the audience is already familiar with.

Plot of the Creed spin-off series

As the series revolves around the boxing academy, Delphi does not focus on any particular character returning; instead, it is about the young fighters who are facing different lives and challenges while training at this place. The series is focused on Adonis Creed's personal and family journey. However, the Delphi series directs the viewer's attention to the larger ecosystem of the sport.

The audience will be able to relate to the following themes: The stress and struggle of climbing the competitive boxing ladder, the fights between the young sportsmen, assistant trainers lending their wisdom to the inexperienced, the athletes' personal lives interrupted because of the sport, and the tales of the passionate and fearless who lose or win, but never give up

This change in focus allows for the exploration of the Creed universe beyond individual characters, a route that Jordan had hinted at but never made specific to any one character.

The plot points that are still open about Delphi

The project gets the green light from Amazon, yet there are still some things left in the dark:

Who will be part of the cast
If any of the famous Creed characters will make their appearance
If there will be interconnections with the next films of the Creed franchise
How many episodes will there be
What will be the tonality (gritty, character-driven, or all-party drama)

By the time Amazon or Jordan spills the beans, the information will be considered unavailable and should not be treated as fact through speculation.

The Creed franchise has been visualized as a future because of its gradual expansion through the Rocky films to its own trilogy and now to its first TV series. Delphi, the next chapter, is a significant move towards serialized storytelling in the universe.

At the moment, it cannot be confirmed how many more series will emerge in the future, as it all depends on the success of Delphi and the wider development strategy Jordan has in mind. But for the time being, Delphi is the only confirmed project that will steer the evolution of the franchise.

The confirmation of Delphi opens up the Creed universe on television. With Michael B. Jordan as the executive producer and Amazon Prime Video as the series's financier, this expansion is nothing but a fact based on reality and not a mere hypothesis.

Focusing on the young fighters at the Delphi Boxing Academy, Delphi is the only project so far that has been spotlighted as part of the Creed legacy. Although Jordan is interested in building a larger universe, no further spin-off, including one centered on Amara, has been signed off on yet.

At this moment, Delphi is the accurate next chapter in the Creed universe, giving us a realistic and spot-on view of the franchise's future.
