Brown will also serve as one of the executive producers on the upcoming series. He further commented to Deadline in a statement how excited he was to work with the “Grown-ish” star and her mother.
“From our first conversation, it was obvious that Yara, Keri, and the 7th Sun team understood this story intimately and had a vision for it that aligned with my own,” said Brown. “I’m thrilled to be working with them to bring Greyboy to life for TV.”
The Shahidis’ 7th Sun Productions also has a new comedy show about the cannabis industry in the works called “Smoakland.”
