Universal Studio Group's UCP has announced an exciting project in the works - a drama series inspired by the music of none other than Usher. The Grammy-winning artist and Super Bowl LVIII halftime headliner will also serve as an executive producer alongside Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, Katie Zucker, and Kenny Meiselas.
Usher expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming series, saying, 'My 30-year catalog has resonated with so many people no matter where they were in their lives. I'm happy to be working with UCP to bring the music to life. I hope the series resonates with you the way my music continues to.'
Set in Atlanta, the yet-to-be-titled drama series aims to explore the themes of Black love and the search for a place to call home. According to the show's logline, viewers can expect a captivating blend of music, style, sex, romance, and the secrets that pose a threat to relationships.
While the project is still in its early stages, no writer has been attached, and UCP hasn't begun pitching the series to potential buyers. However, with the combined talents of Usher, Hinds, Zucker, and Meiselas, this drama series undoubtedly holds great potential to captivate audiences.
In addition to his involvement in the series, Usher has been making waves in the entertainment industry. He recently completed a two-year residency in Las Vegas and released a new album titled 'Coming Home' on February 9th. The artist is scheduled to embark on a tour in support of the album, starting in August.
With Usher's musical legacy and the creative minds behind the production, this upcoming drama series has the potential to become a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike. As the project develops, fans eagerly anticipate more news about its cast, writing team, and potential network.
Usher is represented by WME (William Morris Endeavor) and attorney Kenny Meiselas, adding further credibility to his involvement in this exciting new venture. Hinds is represented by CAA (Creative Artists Agency), The Gotham Group, and attorney Gordon Bobb, while KMei Productions is affiliated with CAA.
As we await further updates about this project, it's safe to say that Usher's music will once again find a way to touch the lives of many through this new dramatic series. Stay tuned for more information about the cast, release date, and where you can catch this captivating show.
