Chris “Ludacris” Bridges Dramedy in the Works at BET+ with Larry Wilmore, Malcolm D. Lee among the EPs

THR reports that BET+ is developing a half-hour dramedy inspired by the life of the rapper-actor, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges.

The streamer says the untitled DJ project is inspired by Ludacris’ “experience coming up in the competitive music scene in Atlanta as DJ Chris Lova Lova, the series follows the misadventures of a sharply drawn ensemble who are willing to do anything and everything to bolster ratings at their hip hop radio station.”

Noah Gardenswartz (Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) will write the script and exec produce the potential series, which is currently in the development stage. Ludacris is on board as an exec producer and will serve as music supervisor. The series hails from Universal Television and Disturbing Tha Peace, the label Ludacris launched in the 1990s alongside his manager Chaka Zulu (who will also exec produce). Larry Wilmore, Malcolm D. Lee and his Blackmaled Productions’ Dominique Telson, Disturbing Tha Peace’s Jeff Dixon, Josh Bratman and Polygram Entertainment’s David Blackman are also involved as exec producers.
