On the heels of his Super Bowl halftime performance, Usher has partnered with Universal Studio Group’s UCP to develop a drama series inspired by his music.
“My 30-year catalog has resonated with so many people no matter where they were in their lives,” Usher said in a statement. “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.”
Per the official logline, the drama is about “Black love in Atlanta and individuals looking to find a place to call home. The series will explore music, style, romance and secrets that threaten to tear relationships apart.”
Executive producers are Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, Katie Zucker (Mad Massive Entertainment), and Kenny Meiselas (KMei Productions).
The singer recently wrapped his two-year “My Way: The Las Vegas Residency” and begins his 24-city next tour, “Past Present Future” on August 20 in Washington, DC. The tour, which includes stops in Atlanta, Miami, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, will wrap on October 29.
Usher dropped his ninth album, “Coming Home,” earlier this month.
