Give me a lighthearted recap
It’s been two years since the arrival of the seventh Rocky movie, 2023’s Creed III. Despite the wait, interest in the saga hasn’t cooled. Fans are understandably eager for Creed IV. However, there’s a fresh source of hype, as the franchise is branching out in ways never seen in nearly five decades of Rocky history.
Like many major cinematic universes these days, the Rocky world is heading to the small screen. A long-awaited series about the Delphi gym remains in development (via Deadline), and there are murmurs of other spin-offs in the works. The Rocky universe is evolving in surprising ways, and they’re all incredibly exciting.
Recent comments from Creed star Michael B. Jordan in November 2025 have set the fanbase alight. According to Jordan (via Variety), a new show centred on Adonis’s daughter Amara Creed (played by Mila Davis-Kent in Creed III) has been picked up by Amazon, a move that could redefine what the world of Rocky and Creed means to a new generation.
A Creed Spinoff Show About Adonis' Daughter Is Being Developed
Prime Video Has Picked Up Development Of An Amara Creed TV Show
Amazon has officially set their sites on the potential of Rocky as a cross-platform cinematic universe. The next major expansion of the Creed universe will be a television series focused on Amara Creed, Adonis's daughter. Michael B. Jordan recently confirmed the news, revealing:
“We’re spinning off doing Adonis’s daughter, Amara’s story, the television show that’s picked up at Amazon. So you’ll be seeing different parts of the Creed-verse, I like to call it. These little IPs are going to keep the universe alive without it being completely reliant on just me to push it through the finish line every time as a boxer. I’ll be adjacent.”
That statement signals a purposeful shift: the Creed chapter of the Rocky franchise is no longer tethered solely to Adonis. Instead, it’s evolving into a broader “Creed-verse”. The shift to TV allows for deeper storytelling than a two-hour movie ever could.
Given the Creed films’ global box office success, the gamble on Amara’s story makes sense. The Creed and Rocky movies have grossed hundreds of millions worldwide, which gives studio executives confidence that the brand can support multiple formats and generations.
Moreover, Jordan’s phrasing, “different parts of the Creed-verse”, implies this show may not just be a direct continuation, but a reimagining of what the Creed world can encompass. That could mean new gyms, new fighters, and new families, giving the saga plenty of room to grow without overloading on familiar faces.
Amara Creed Will Be The First Female Lead In The Rocky Franchise
Amazon’s Creed Spinoff Will Be The Franchise’s First Female-Centered Story
If the Creed sequel TV show makes it to screens, Amara Creed will become the first female lead in the long history of the Rocky/Creed universe. That alone is a landmark shift. All previous films, from the original Rocky series to Creed III, focused on male fighters. Amara’s arrival as the central character signals a major evolution.
In prior installments, the narrative always revolved around male legacy, father-son dynamics, or male mentorship. A show led by Amara promises to challenge those conventions and open the door to new perspectives: not only about boxing, but about identity, heritage, and what it means to carry the Creed name as a young woman.
This direction matters because it modernizes the franchise. A female-led boxing drama could explore different themes alongside the franchise’s staples of determination, legacy, and pressure. It could also broaden to focus on issues around access and equality in a male-dominated sport. It’s an opportunity for the Creed series to reflect a broader, more inclusive world.
Moreover, giving Amara the spotlight acknowledges that legacy isn’t just passed through sons. Women in the Creed family, previously in supporting or background roles, now get agency. That expands the mythology in a meaningful way.
The possible tonal shift could also help the Rocky franchise evolve. Whereas earlier entries focused heavily on physical combat and male bonds, Amara’s story may bring additional emotional layers: grappling with family history, living up to expectations, and forging her own path.
What's more, Amara's hearing impairment will assuredly add another unique layer to her story. For fans hungry for change, and for new viewers who might relate to a young woman navigating legacy and ambition, this might be the most compelling Creed project yet.
Amara Creed Already Has Her Own Spinoff
Amara proved she can lead with the comic series Creed: The Next Round
While the Amazon series would be her first on-screen spotlight, Amara Creed already headlined a spin-off in the pages of a comic series. The four-issue Creed: The Next Round, released by BOOM! Studios in 2023, places Amara front and center. The story picks up ten years after the events of Creed III, with her stepping out from Adonis’s shadow and stepping into her own as a serious boxer.
The comic charts Amara’s journey through training, internal conflict, and ambition. As opponents grow weak, her drive pushes her underground, all while she seeks out the ideal trainer and confronts dark truths about her family’s legacy. The narrative doesn’t shy away from challenges, making it feel gritty, grounded, and perfect for adaptation.
That existing foundation makes the jump to TV feel far less speculative. Amara has already proven she can carry a story. The Creed comic shows she’s not just a placeholder; she’s a complex character with ambition, vulnerability, and determination. If the forthcoming series mirrors that depth, this could be one of the most exciting chapters in the Creed saga yet.
