The Fast and the Furious star is teaming with Mudbound writer Virgil Williams for a boxing drama over at NBC.

THR reports that the drama, titled Crushers Club will be an hourlong show about a struggling boxing gym, which also serves as a second home for kids in one of Chicago’s toughest neighborhoods.

Williams will write the script and executive produce with Diesel through his One Race Television banner. Williams previously worked for six seasons as a writer-producer on Criminal Minds. He is also the co-writer on the upcoming Netflix film Mudbound, which many expect to be an awards season contender.

Crushers Club is one of three projects on One Race TV's slate this season, the others being a reboot of Miami Vice, also at NBC, and a reboot of Get Christie Love at ABC.
