The scripted series is inspired by Ludacris’ time as a DJ in Atlanta.
Disturbing tha Peace executives Jeff Dixon and Chaka Zulu, who is Ludacris’ manager, will also executive produce the series. They will be joined by Lee, Wilmore, Dominique Telson — who is an executive from Lee’s company, Blackmaled Productions — Josh Bratman and Polygram Entertainment’s David Blackman.
Lee has previously worked with Universal as the director of 2017’s “Girls Trip” and 2018’s “Night School.” He most recently worked with the company for the Peacock series “The Best Man: The Final Chapters.” Wilmore is also no stranger to producing, having executive produced the Hulu/Onyx Collective series “Reasonable Doubt” and the critically acclaimed ABC series “Black-ish.” He is also the co-creator of Emmy-nominated HBO series, “Insecure,” alongside Issa Rae.
