The first season of basketball-focused TV show "Swagger" is set to premiere on Friday, October 29, Apple announced today.

The 10-episode series is set to star Isaiah Hill, O'Shea Jackson Jr., and Quvenzhané Wallis. Kevin Durant was involved in the show's creation alongside Reggie Rock and Brian Grazer.
When the show premieres on October 29, the first three episodes will be available, with new episodes to follow each Friday.
