Riding off his success from his Super Bowl performance, eight-time Grammy winner Usher is producing a series based on his music, according to news reports. The news comes just as the singer has announced a multi-city tour.
The drama series will be produced in partnership with UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, according to Variety.
Kenny Meiselas Selwyn Seyfu Hinds and Katie Zucker have signed on as executive producers.
“My 30-year catalog has resonated with so many people no matter where they were in their lives,” Usher said. “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.”
The drama series is about, “Black love in Atlanta and individuals looking to find a place to call home. The series will explore music, style, sex, romance and secrets that threaten to tear relationships apart,” according to the logline.
What’s not known yet is who will star in the series and what streaming services will eventually buy it and stream it.
Usher has also announced a national tour, which comes to his home — Atlanta — and other cities. His new album “Coming Home,” dropped in early February.
