Jackass’ Tony Hawk and Steve-O are the executive producers of Sk8 or Die, an upcoming anthology series.

The series will tell a brand new real-life story each season, similar to Netflix’s monster anthology series. The first season tells the story of former professional skater Lee Ralph.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first season “follows Lee’s childhood in New Zealand, where he grew up as the son of a heroin-dealing father and became a professional figure skater in the late 1980s, often skating barefoot. At the height of his fame as one of the sport’s top stars, he suddenly dropped out.

Vinnie Bennett (F9) will play Lee with Keisha Castle-Hughes (Whale Rider) as Lee’s sister and accomplice Kim Ralph.

“Lee Ralph was a truly unique character, and that says a lot about the diverse world of skateboarding,” Hawk said in a statement. “His skating was powerful and smooth, while his looks and attitude were unashamedly dirty. But he always had a smile on his face and we were always excited to see him.”

Sky New Zealand has commissioned the series, which will be written by Tom Hern, a real-life friend of Lee, and Halaifonua (Nua) Finau. The pair will also serve as showrunners. Hern will also direct select episodes alongside Travon Free (Two Distant Strangers) and Martin Desmond Roe (BS High).
