Two-time Olympic gold medalist and World Cup champion Hope Solo announced today a production and development agreement with Brant Pinvidic's INvelop Entertainment to develop and produce compelling and original unscripted content.

Under the new deal, Hope and her manager Tiffany Shine will serve as Executive Producers together with INvelop Entertainment. The first project under the partnership will be a new season of the sports medical series, "The Cutting Edge," with Solo attached to host.

The series follows athletes through a fascinating journey examining the risks of common sports injuries, the treatment and rehabilitation methods, and the most current research available. Solo was featured in the first season which aired on Fox Sports 1.

"I am very excited for the opportunity to work with Brant and INvelop Entertainment," said Solo. "He is an industry leader that shares my passion for unique story-telling and together we look forward to delivering content that will resonate with not just sports fans but all viewers."

Last year, INvelop Entertainment entered a multi-year production deal with STX Entertainment and their unscripted television division. This new season of "The Cutting Edge" is among more than a dozen projects currently in development.

"Hope Solo is one of the most recognized professional soccer players in the world and I couldn't be more thrilled to work with her again," said Brant Pinvidic, INvelop Entertainment's Founder and CEO. "Hope not only brings an incredible fan base to the project, but her vision and drive is contagious. After working with her on the first season of 'The Cutting Edge' I jumped at the chance to bring this project to life yet again."
