Along plot details are scarce, the half-hour series will take place in the world of electronic music, which is somewhat familiar to Harris.
“Trainspotting” author Irvine Welsh will write the series. He developed the idea along with Grammy winner Harris, who will exec produce, according to Deadline.
Smith will executive produce along with his Overbrook partners James Lassiter, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Miguel Melendez, along with Three Six Zero Group’s Mark Gillespie and Dean Wilson. Jay Z and his Marcy Media partners Jay Brown, and Tyran Smith are also serving as exec producers.
Meanwhile, Jay Z and Smith are also teaming to produce the upcoming remake of the musical “Annie,” starring Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz and “Beasts of the Southern Wild” breakout star Quvenzhané Wallis in the title role.
According to reports Will Smith and Denzel Washington are set to reprise the roles made famous by Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier as two working class guys who get into trouble after their get rich quick scheme goes wrong.
Filming is set to start this summer.
“Will and I can both do whatever we want because we trust each other to do so,” Jada Pinkett Smith recently said of her unconventional relationship with her husband. “This does not mean we have an open relationship. It means we have a grown one.” Or is it a broken one? RadarOnline.com has learned that the couple have not been publicly seen together for more than two months as rumors of marriage trouble reach fever pitch once more.
Jada offered some insight into her current mental state at the Associated Black Charities of Baltimore Girls’ Night Out Event on October 23, telling the crowd that “when you are going through a storm with your spouse … stop thinking about what you ‘believe’ a husband or wife should be,” according to audience member Vera Holman, who live-tweeted the event. Jada also reportedly told the crowd, “I thought success would make me happy … It does NOT.”
Indeed, more than fifteen years after their lavish Hollywood wedding, Will and Jada are living separate lives. Will has been in New Orleans since mid-September filming Focus, and is scheduled to stay there through next month as well. His ex, Sheree Fletcher, is also in town, according to her Instagram.
Jada, meanwhile, traveled to Paris earlier this month with her daughter, Willow and mother, Adrienne Banfield-Brown, who was also by her side at the Baltimore event.
Once back in L.A., Jada has reportedly moved into her brother Caleeb Pinkett‘s Calabasas home.
When reached for comment on the couple’s marital struggles, Will’s mother, Carolyn Smith, told RadarOnline.com, “Isn’t that personal? … Thank you for your concern.”
