Ronda Rousey is an Olympian, a former UFC champion, a RAW Women’s Champion, an actor, and now the WWE Superstar can add executive producer to her growing list of accolades. Deadline reports that Rousey will team up with Ben Silverman to executive produce the Melissa Scrivner-Love CW project Strong Girl.
Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva notes the following:
The CW’s Strong Girl, from CBS TV Studios, is an adaptation of a Korean format. It follows a former war photographer named Rayna who discovers she is indestructible and potentially the strongest woman in the world. Ghosted by her Spec Ops fiance when she reveals her newfound power to him, Rayna is hired as a bodyguard by a billionaire named Oliver, who sees her true potential.
Wrestler, MMA fighter and actress Rousey executive produces in her first foray into scripted television, alongside Jane the Virgin exec producer Silverman of Propagate Content. (You can watch a short trailer for the original series below, which would illustrate how Rousey’s expertise would be utilized into the production.)
The Korean version of Strong Girl is an episodic series, also based on a woman who has the gift of super human strength. It was a huge commercial success and currently stands as the 11th highest rated drama in Korean television history.
The following trailer is from the Korean version of Strong Girl:
