Sterling K. Brown to Narrate Paramount+ Docuseries on Army Ranger School
Sterling K. Brown is the narrator of The Elite: Army Rangers, a four-part docuseries for Paramount+, according to Deadline. The series premieres on Tuesday, December 8.
The show is about U.S. Army Ranger School, the Army's demanding leadership course. It follows one class from Day 1 at Fort Benning in Georgia. The story ends when each soldier either earns the Ranger Tab, the badge that marks completion of the course, or goes home.
A narrator is the voice that guides viewers through the footage, explaining what is happening and why it matters. Brown's role is to carry the story from one stage of the course to the next.
Three companies produce the series: Skydance Sports Entertainment, NFL Films and PanCam Pictures. Each has its own group of executive producers. An executive producer is a senior credit, usually held by people who oversee a project's funding and direction rather than the day-to-day filming.
For Skydance Sports Entertainment, Jesse Sisgold, Jon Weinbach, Greg Groggel and Dan Marks hold that role. For NFL Films, the executive producers are Ross Ketover, Keith Cossrow, Ken Rodgers and Jessica Boddy. PanCam Pictures lists Paul Camarata and Brian Pawloski.
Paramount+ is the streaming service that will carry the series. Its release schedule for the four parts beyond the premiere date has not been detailed, so viewers should check the service closer to December for how the episodes will be released.
The project brings together three production companies, a narrator with a long screen career, and a real training course that has a clear finish line for each class. The premiere date is now fixed. What viewers will see on screen starts on December 8.
