It is based on the story of larger-than-life 70's daredevil Evel Knievel as he prepares for his greatest death-defying feat, the historic Snake River Canyon jump.

Milo Ventimiglia‘s Evel Knievel series didn’t stick the landing at USA Network. The network will not be going forward with the limited series, which would’ve been titled Evel, about the daredevil stuntman. The coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic shut down the series right before production was set to begin.
