One of the internet’s premier forums for remembering some guys is looking to move into television.
Religion of Sports, the production company founded by Gotham Chopra and NFL greats Tom Brady and Michael Strahan, is developing a game show based on Immaculate Grid, the online trivia game hosted by Sports Reference. The project is in its early stages and doesn’t have an outlet attached yet.
Created by software developer Brian Minter and purchased by Sports Reference in July 2023, Immaculate Grid is a daily game in which players fill in a 3×3 grid based on certain criteria along each axis (say, played for the Dodgers and had a 100-RBI season). The original version of the game covered only baseball, but there are now grids for men’s and women’s basketball, football, hockey and soccer as well.
“Immaculate Grid is the online game to play if you’re a serious sports fan.It’s very challenging and very addictive.”said Victor Buhler, senior vp development and production at Religion of Sports. “We believe the game can also become a terrific show, a future favorite for sports fans of every stripe.”
The Immaculate Grid game show will look to bring sports fans, athletes and celebrities together as they try to piece together a perfect grid.
“Our mission at Sports Reference is to help our users better enjoy and understand the sports they love. Religion of Sports is a perfect partner in that mission, as we’ve found a lot of common ground in our shared interest in the deeper context of sports,”said Sports Reference founder and president Sean Forman. “Immaculate Grid has become a daily ritual for so many people, and our collaboration represents a major step in its evolution. We’re excited to work with Religion of Sports to expand the Immaculate Grid brand from the online space to a new television audience.”
Religon of Sports has produced ESPN’s In the Arena series, Netflix’s Simone Biles Rising and Prime Video’s Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues, among other titles.
