The Greatest (Season 1)

The Greatest (2026) is a new biographical drama built around Muhammad Ali — you can watch it online on iFILM already. Director Ben Watkins skips the highlight reel. The punches happened; this show is about what came after the bell.

The series digs into the corners no boxing documentary covers — a marriage under strain, a brother watching from the sidelines, a mother who saw the fighter before anyone else did. Jaalen Best plays the young Ali, with Omari Hardwick, Dana Gourrier and Amin Joseph filling out the family around him.

Everyone already knows the record and the ring name. The Greatest bets on the quieter stuff — a husband, a father, a son, a brother — and that's a harder story to tell well. Stream the 2026 series in iFILM's catalog.
