Shortly after the Super Bowl, USHER is now bringing his music to whole new heights.

The eight-time Grammy winning artist has partnered with UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, to develop a drama series about his music.

Executive producers are Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, Katie Zucker (Mad Massive Entertainment) and Kenny Meiselas (KMei Productions).

“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, sex, romance and secrets that threaten to tear relationships apart.”

While the project is currently in the early stages, there could be other notable stars attached to the drama.
