Sportsfan
Sportsfan is KeyTV's network's take on family sitcoms shot entirely on iPhones and directed by Keke Palmer. In the series, we meet CJ, a dedicated fancy footballer who streams about his favorite team the Beagles – much to the enjoyment of his friends and father, and the chagrin of his heavily pregnant wife, Lila. Over the course of the show, we watch as he juggles these priorities and ultimately has to decide what he’s really a fan of.
