NEW YORK—October 8, 2024—Prime Video has revealed the official trailer for its forthcoming series “GAME 7,” set to premiere on October 22, available exclusively to its members across more than 240 countries and territories. The series promises an in-depth exploration of some of the most iconic Game 7 moments in sports history, capturing the intense pressure and excitement these events evoke.

“GAME 7” is a five-part anthology series that delves into the stories and experiences from both victorious and defeated athletes who participated in these high-stakes games.

“There’s nothing like a game seven,” DeVito told PEOPLE, highlighting the universal appeal and emotional charge these crucial matchups bring to both players and fans alike. “In our lives, we all experience game sevens,” he reflected, drawing parallels between major life moments and high-stakes sports events.

The series is set to feature episodes on some of sports’ most memorable Game 7s, including the 2003 American League Championship Series game between the Yankees and Red Sox, and the 2006 NBA Western Conference semifinals between the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs.
