Hollywood didn't waste any time getting to work on a series about the Shohei Ohtani saga involving his former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara.

Lionsgate Television announced on Thursday its developing a scripted series about the gambling scandal that will be produced by Scott Delman and Albert Chen.

"This is major league baseball's biggest sports gambling scandal since Pete Rose—and at its center is its biggest star, one that MLB has hitched its wagon on," Chen said in the release. "We'll get to the heart of the story—a story of trust, betrayal and the trappings of wealth and fame."
