Mark Wahlberg Docuseries Greenlit at HBO Max

HBO Max has given an eight-episode order to Wahl Street, a new documentary series led by Mark Wahlberg.

Wahl Street will follow the actor as he juggles the demands of a rigorous film schedule and his ever-growing network of diverse businesses. Through the docuseries, viewers will learn about Walberg’s successes and failures and glean business and life lessons while getting to know his real-life entourage. The series began production in December.

Wahl Street is produced by Unrealistic Ideas, founded by Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson and Archie Gips. Wahlberg, Levinson and Gips will serve as executive producers on the project along with Liz Bronstein.

Jennifer O’Connell, executive VP of original nonfiction and kids’ programming at HBO Max, said: “This series will be an intimate exploration behind the drive that makes Mark Wahlberg one of the most unique stars in entertainment. Mark’s entrepreneurial spirit is fun to watch and we hope to show both the struggle and triumphs of what it takes to succeed.”

Wahlberg: “We’re documenting the ups, the downs, the hits and the misses. It’s all the real stuff that’s happening while I’m growing my businesses. We’re pulling back the curtain and hopefully it’s an opportunity to inspire other entrepreneurs.”
