Michael B. Jordan is having a very busy November, and the latest news about the actor, director and producer shows a star working on several fronts at once. This week, his new Muhammad Ali series has arrived on Prime Video, he has been spotted filming a major new movie, and he is fronting a luxury holiday campaign. Here is a round-up of the latest Michael B. Jordan news.
The Greatest Arrives on Prime Video
The biggest Michael B. Jordan news this week is the arrival of The Greatest, the eight-episode series about the life of Muhammad Ali. All eight episodes premiered on Prime Video on November 4, 2026, giving viewers the chance to watch the whole story in one go.
The series is the first authorised scripted show about the legendary heavyweight champion, and it follows his journey from Cassius Clay to global icon. Jaalen Best stars as Ali, while Jordan serves as executive producer through his production company, Outlier Society. Ali’s widow, Lonnie Ali, is also involved in the project, which adds weight and credibility to the telling of his story.
Jordan has said that the chance to tell Ali’s story in a different way, working closely with Lonnie Ali, was what drew him to the project. The series was celebrated at a star-studded premiere in New York City on October 27, where Jordan joined the cast and crew, along with members of the Ali family, on the red carpet.
Early reaction suggests The Greatest could become one of the most talked-about shows of the year. With boxing, fame, faith and politics all woven into Ali’s remarkable life, the series has no shortage of material, and Jordan’s track record with boxing stories — he directed and starred in Creed III — makes him a natural fit to bring it to the screen.
Filming Miami Vice ’85 With Austin Butler
While The Greatest is streaming, Jordan is already hard at work on his next big-screen role. He has been spotted filming Miami Vice ’85 in New York City alongside Austin Butler, with the pair seen shooting scenes by the water on the night of November 2.
The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski, is inspired by the original television show’s pilot episode and first season. Set in the mid-1980s, it follows undercover detectives working in Miami during a time of drug trafficking and corruption. Jordan plays Ricardo Tubbs, with Butler as Sonny Crockett.
The movie is being filmed for IMAX and is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on May 19, 2028. Production is expected to wrap in December, which means fans have a long wait ahead, but the early set photos have already generated plenty of excitement online.
A Big Year on Screen: Sinners and the Oscars
Jordan’s busy run follows a huge year. Earlier in 2026, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as twins Smoke and Stack in Sinners, the hit film that became a cultural phenomenon. The Oscar win confirmed what many had long believed: Jordan is one of the finest actors of his generation.
That success has also strengthened his work behind the camera. Through Outlier Society, he has built a production company with a growing slate, from Creed III to television projects such as David Makes Man and 61st Street. The Greatest is the latest and most ambitious entry on that list.
David Yurman Holiday Campaign
Jordan is also the face of luxury this season. He stars alongside Bridgerton actor Yerin Ha and rising star Inde Navarrette in David Yurman’s 2026 holiday campaign, titled “Share the Warmth”. The campaign debuted on November 2 and features a series of snowy New York vignettes directed by cinematographer Bradford Young.
Jordan, already a global brand ambassador for David Yurman, brings star power to the campaign, and the pairing with Ha has drawn plenty of attention from fans, some of whom are already hoping the two will one day share the screen in a romantic comedy.
What to Watch Next
- The Greatest on Prime Video: All eight episodes are available now. Early viewing figures and reviews will show whether the Ali series lives up to its promise.
- Miami Vice ’85: Filming continues through December. More set photos and first-look images are likely before the year is out.
- Outlier Society’s next moves: With an Oscar win and a major streaming series behind him, Jordan’s production company is one to watch for future projects.
- Awards season: As a producer on The Greatest, Jordan could find himself in the awards conversation again in the months ahead.
The Bottom Line
The latest Michael B. Jordan news paints a picture of an actor and producer at the top of his game. From executive-producing a landmark Muhammad Ali series to filming a blockbuster remake and fronting a major fashion campaign, Jordan is everywhere right now — and there is no sign of him slowing down.
