Alex Weprin of The Hollywood Reporter reported Tuesday that the actors appear in “ManningCast: Heist,” an “Ocean’s Eleven”-style short film from Omaha Productions that reveals the schedule for the sixth season of the alternate “Monday Night Football” broadcast. The roughly 15-minute production features about 40 cameos spanning A-list actors, current and former NFL players and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
“The tone of the heist is sort of a larger metaphor for the show itself,” Omaha Productions president Jamie Horowitz told The Hollywood Reporter. “The Manningcast is meant to be a safe space, a show where everybody can just come on and talk about a love of football.”

According to Weprin, Omaha began planning the schedule reveal in late 2024 before production started in early 2025 at the Pro Bowl, allowing the company to begin securing its lengthy list of cameos. Omaha head of production Therese Andrews credited writer and producer DJ Gallo with developing the heist concept.

Powell’s involvement also continues his connection with the Mannings through “Chad Powers.” Powell stars in the comedy series inspired by the Chad Powers character Eli created for an episode of ESPN’s “Eli’s Places,” with Peyton and Eli among the executive producers through Omaha Productions.
ESPN’s Kalan Hooks provided additional details Tuesday about the plot of “ManningCast: Heist” and spoke with Peyton and Eli about the production. The story begins when Peyton discovers that the ManningCast has a Week 6 game scheduled on the same night as his book club. Eli suggests asking Goodell to change the schedule, but Peyton doubts the commissioner will answer his voicemail.
