Serena Williams is taking on a new role as an executive producer for the upcoming Netflix drama "Carrie Soto Is Back," which is based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's popular novel about a determined tennis star making a comeback. The streaming service has acquired the project for development, with Williams involved in guiding its creative direction. The storyline revolves around Carrie Soto, a fierce tennis champion who returns to the sport at the age of 37 to protect her legacy when her achievements are at risk. While not directly inspired by Williams, the author has acknowledged the influence of the Williams sisters on the novel. Williams has previous experience in producing, having worked on projects like the docuseries "In the Arena: Serena Williams" and the film "King Richard" alongside her sister Venus. A release date for "Carrie Soto Is Back" on Netflix has not been announced yet.
