Jada Pinkett Smith's next role will have her share her home with a high school football team. According to Deadline, Smith has been cast in director Matthew A. Cherry's upcoming Netflix film Redd Zone.

Smith will play Tia Magee, a single mother whose sons are part of the high school football team. The film is based on the true story of Magee helping her sons and their football teammates heal after the murder of their best friend, Dominic Redd. Members of the team begin moving into her house, and soon 17 are living under her roof. Eventually, every member of the team goes to college, with four of them making it to the NFL.

Smith's previous work includes 2019's Angel Has Fallen, 2017's Girls Trip, and 2016's Bad Moms. Smith last appeared in The Matrix Resurrections, reprising her role as Niobe from 2003's The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. Smith will also be a producer for Redd Zone.
