Verily Storyworks Launches Ambitious Jim Thorpe Series
For the first time, fans can help bring the untold story of Jim Thorpe to the screen and honor a legacy that is long overdue. The story of Jim Thorpe is gaining renewed national attention, but the depth of his life is far too profound to capture in a single moment. Verily Storyworks, an innovative storytelling studio and intellectual property (IP) development company, is proud to announce their flagship project, THORPE. This drama series will explore the intricate narrative of the greatest athlete to ever live.
A Journey Through Jim Thorpe's Life
THORPE is set to be a three-season scripted drama series that delves into the forgotten narrative of Jim Thorpe, the remarkable athlete. Verily is committed to fan engagement and investment, calling upon the public to not only learn about Jim Thorpe’s story but also to actively participate in it.
Engaging Fans in Storytelling

Investing in the Legacy
The IP development company is currently inviting the public to invest in THORPE and help fund this inspiring, untold chapter in American history. Through this initiative, supporters can co-create what promises to be a remarkable chronicle of resilience, courage, and triumph.
The Essence of an American Legend
This dramatic representation captures the essence of Jim Thorpe, who surmounted tremendous challenges, societal oppression, and discrimination to become one of the most celebrated athletes. The series will begin at Thorpe's modest beginnings and follow his journey as he came to achieve landmark successes while standing strong against injustices.
As society reflects on the importance of recognizing Jim Thorpe’s legacy, THORPE arrives at a crucial moment of acknowledgment and remembrance. “THORPE is not just a television show — it is a tribute to a phenomenal man and the greatest athlete in modern history. His journey merits honoring with sincerity and dedication to his legacy,” Capece explained.
Building an Authentic Narrative
Developed in collaboration with Thorpe family members along with esteemed Native American and cultural historians, THORPE transcends a typical sports narrative. It is a powerful story interwoven with themes of identity, tenacity, and the enduring spirit of humanity.
“Jim's narrative deserves respectful and in-depth storytelling, which only a series of this magnitude can provide,” remarked John Thorpe, Jim Thorpe's grandson. “We are proud of Verily for approaching our family’s story with authenticity and grateful for the opportunity to preserve his legacy,” he added.

What differentiates Verily’s THORPE is not only the thorough narrative and scale of the series but also the active role it offers fans beyond mere viewership. Verily envisions a collaborative storytelling approach fueled by passionate fan support, encouraging audiences to propel the story of this American legend.
The company invites individuals interested in impacting the development of the series to join as Capital Ambassadors. Those who embrace this role will help fund the development phase of THORPE, owning a piece of its intellectual property and contributing actively to the realization of this long-overlooked narrative.
