Spike Lee To Direct Amazon’s ROTC Series

Focus Features

Amazon Studios is developing a coming-of-age drama series set within the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. (ROTC) with Spike Lee set to direct and executive produce.

The story explores the world of a rigorous ROTC military program at a major university, where students from all different walks of life push themselves to limits they never thought possible.

Jalysa Conway (“9-1-1: Lone Star”) and Rebecca Murga (“Swagger”) wrote the script and executive produce.

Last year Lee became the first Black director to receive the DGA’s highest honor with its Lifetime Achievement Award.
