PHILADELPHIA — After years of teasing a potential spinoff, the "Creed" franchise is extending to a TV series. And it’s moving away from the "Rocky" franchise’s native Philadelphia and moving into the West Coast.

On Monday, Amazon Prime Video announced that it has commissioned "Delphi," a drama series centered on the eponymous L.A.-set boxing gym featured in the Michael B. Jordan-led film trilogy.

According to Variety, the show will follow young boxers being trained at the Delphi Boxing Academy, founded by trainer Tony “Duke” Evers, played by actor Tony Burton.

The gym, founded by Evers when after his 1968 retirement, is where Carl Weathers’ Apollo Creed, the main antagonist of the "Rocky" films, trained for years. Years later, his son Adonis Johnson Creed (Jordan) stepped into the ring to train under Evers’ son, Tony “Little Duke” Evers (Wood Harris).

The "Creed" trilogy has previously ventured into L.A., where Jordan’s Adonis, or “Donnie,” grew up and first developed his boxing skills. But the first two "Creed" films sees the fictional heavyweight champion travel to Philadelphia to train under Sylvester Stallone’s iconic Rocky Balboa.

The "Creed" films, a spinoff of the "Rocky" franchise, has grossed more than $660 million at the international box office. The recent installment, "Creed III," was produced under Jordan’s Outler Society.

Jordan and Outlier Society’s Liz Raposo will produce "Delphi," alongside Winkler Films which also produced "Creed" and "Creed II." Marco Ramirez, the creator of the Hulu boxing-drama "La Máquina," will serve as showrunner and executive producer.

No premiere date has been released.
