Two-time Grand Slam singles winner Naomi Osaka will be featured in an upcoming documentary series to air on Netflix, and the project has the backing of one of global sports' most prominent individuals.

The Uninterrupted, the media brand founded by NBA superstar LeBron James and business mogul Maverick Carter, and California-based production company Film 45 have formed a partnership for the project, which was announced earlier this week by numerous media outlets.

American filmmaker Garrett Bradley is the director. Bradley directed the documentary short "Alone," which won a Short Film Jury Award in non-fiction at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
