Sylvester Stallone and his family are bringing their lives to the small screen. On Feb. 2, Paramount+ confirmed that Sylvester will star in an eight-part docuseries called “The Family Stallone” alongside his wife, Jennifer Flavin Stallone, and their three daughters, Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet. The announcement came in tandem with a Super Bowl commercial released by Paramount+ that features the Stallones climbing an icy “mountain of entertainment.”
“OK, this mountain has three faces,” resident Paramount+ character Dora the Explorer says. “The northern face, the southern face, and . . .” “Reno 911!” star and cocreator Thomas Lennon then responds, “The Sylvester Stallone face,” as the camera pans over to the movie star.
According to a press release from Paramount+, Sylvester’s new reality series “offers a seat at the table of one of Hollywood’s most famous families” and is expected to “give cameras access to what he would consider the greatest role of his lifetime: Dad.” A previous release from the streamer also offered a few more hints about what viewers can expect from the Stallone family’s series.
“To the world, he’s the man, the myth and the legend — but to his daughters, he’s just Dad,” it says of the 76-year-old actor. “While he headlines box office smash hits, at home he is focused on building for the future and raising three independent and ambitious women.” Meanwhile, Jennifer is described as a “savvy businesswoman,” while her daughter Sophia is hosting a podcast and “still finding her path in life and focusing on her passions.” Additionally, Sistine is an “actress and model,” and Scarlet, just starting college, has been “set on following in her father’s footsteps and becoming an actress since she was a child.”
Sylvester married Jennifer in 1997. The couple made headlines when the latter filed for divorce from Sylvester in August 2022, only to reconcile a month later.
In a November 2022 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sylvester said that this tumultuous point of their marriage will definitely be featured in their series. “Of course it’s part of the show,” he said before briefly reflecting on their relationship. “It’s the John Lennon thing: ‘Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.’ Hopefully, you’re involved with people who understand the foibles of life and the fragility of it and how rare a real good relationship is.”
In addition to Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlett, Sylvester has a son named Seargeoh from a past marriage to Sasha Czack. He and Czack also share a son named Sage, who died in 2012.
“The Family Stallone” will premiere next month on Paramount+. Find out everything we know about it ahead, including the new trailer.
