Jamal Henderson and Philip Byron will oversee the project for SpringHill.<\/p>\n<p>In the series, contestants will have the chance to win $1,000,000 every time they run the Million Dollar Mile. Standing in their way is the most challenging course ever designed and a group of elite athletes with one mission: stop the contestants from winning the money at all costs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;LeBron represents the epitome of strength, vision and determination\u2014all skills one will need to complete this one-of-a-kind course where every runner has a chance to win $1,000,000,&#8221; said Sharon Vuong, senior VP of alternative at CBS Entertainment. &#8220;Couple that with Allison and Rich&#8217;s unrivaled skill for storytelling and game, and we feel like we have a championship-caliber team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This show takes competition series to a whole new level. It&#8217;s intense, it&#8217;s entertaining and it has a twist that will have people on the edge of their seats while also creating an opportunity to change the contestants&#8217; lives,&#8221; said Carter, CEO of SpringHill Entertainment. &#8220;It&#8217;s exactly the type of aspirational content SpringHill Entertainment is about, and we can&#8217;t wait for people to experience it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;LeBron pushes the limits of what&#8217;s possible on and off the court. He sets the bar very high, and we want to bring that spirit to this show,&#8221; said Rich Meehan, CEO of Fly on the Wall Entertainment. &#8220;Our goal is to create something you&#8217;ve never seen before. From a genre-busting concept to cutting-edge challenges to a style like no other, <em>Million Dollar Mile<\/em> will push the limits of what&#8217;s possible in the unscripted genre.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBS has ordered Million Dollar Mile (working title), a competition series that challenges everyday athletes&#8217; physical and mental toughness, from producer LeBron James.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":8913,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[239,898],"class_list":["post-8912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cbs","tag-lebron-james"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
