2026-03-27

Shamier Anderson (John Wick 4, Invasion) stars as Ben Johnson and will also serve as an Executive Producer for Bay Mills Studios. HATE THE PLAYER: THE BEN JOHNSON STORY is Canadian sprinter Johnson's definitely-not-biased account of the doping controversy that rocked the 1988 Olympics when he tested positive for banned steroid use, going from hero to zero in 9.79 seconds in what some called "The Dirtiest Race in History". The series takes a revealing and satirical look at the events surrounding the legendary race and the scandal behind the scandal.
