Wondering what Cristiano Ronaldo is doing with his time now that he's retired from the Portugal national team?

Well, he's still playing for Al-Nassr, of course.

But, apparently, he's got a television show in the works!

On Wednesday, Nov. 11, the soccer icon posted on Instagram that he is working on a TV program called "Day 1s."

In the cover photo for the Instagram gallery, Ronaldo is standing with Matthew Vaughn, with whom he has a production company called UR MARV. Vaughn directed "Kingsman," among other projects.

"Exciting news! Production of my first TV show, Day 1s, has just started," the five-time Ballon d'Or winner wrote in the caption of his post. "More to come!"

It might not be the new "Ted Lasso," but "Day 1s" seems to have a soccer storyline. One of the photos was a still of a reporter inside the locker room of a professional football club with members of the team sitting on benches.

British rapper Dave is shown in an image sitting on a couch chatting with actor Damian Lewis, who plays Bobby Axelrod in "Billions," and a CR7 jersey is framed on the wall behind them. Dave has previous acting experience when he was the villain Modie on "Top Boy."

France football legend Thierry Henry also posted about the show and shared a photo of himself sitting at a desk with Lewis and his own football kit hanging on the wall. There's another image where Lewis is sitting behind the desk. Fans were joking and pondering if Axelrod had bought a football club.

Ronaldo and Vaughn are also reportedly working on a movie called "Stuntnuts" about stunt actors that stars Chris Hemsworth and has a cameo from Matt Damon.

On the pitch, Ronaldo continues his quest for 1,000 goals, but will do so in club play. He retired from the Portugal national team last week after feuding with manager Jorge Jesus.

In this summer's World Cup, he made history along with Lionel Messi and Guillermo "Memo" Ochoa as the only players to appear in six tournaments. Portugal made it to the round of 16, where they were knocked out by eventual champion Spain. Ronaldo scored three goals in the tournament, including his first goal in a World Cup knockout match.
