Coda stars Troy Kotsur and Marlee Matlin will be reuniting for a new Disney+ series.
The still-untitled project will follow the true story of the 2021 Riverside Cubs Football team, who were the first Deaf team to earn a place in the California State Championship, with Kotsur starring as the team's coach.
The actor will also be executive producing the show alongside his former co-star (via The Hollywood Reporter).

The series has been described as a "groundbreaking story about the Deaf community, both on and off the field". It also aims to tell the stories of the students, teachers and families, and the challenges they faced and their achievements.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the writing and production team will also include Deaf artists both in front and behind the camera, with John Maucere, an alumnus of Riverside, also acting as a consultant.

Kotsur became the second Deaf actor to win an Oscar for his role as the head of the Rossi family, Frank, in CODA, with Matlin first winning her Best Actress award with 1987's Children of a Lesser God.
In an emotional speech, Kotsur first complimented director Sian Heder for being a "great communicator" in bringing the Deaf and hearing community together through film.
He also thanked the Deaf theatre companies, saying: "I really want to thank all of the really wonderful deaf theatre stages where I was allowed and given the opportunity to develop my craft as an actor."
Kotsur then finished his speech with a personal thanks to his father, who had become paralysed after a car accident.
