Sean “Diddy” Combs
TV shows about Detroit haven't done so well in recent years. There were the cop shows, "Detroit 187" and "Low Winter" Sun, both which lasted only a season. And oh YES, there NBC's "Undateable," set at a Ferndale bar. That seems to be doing well in its second season.
Now, the latest: The entertainment website, Deadline Hollywood, reports that FX is developing an animated comedy, executive produced by Sean “Diddy” Combs, that is supposed to take place in a fictional Detroit Elementary school.
.Nellie Andreeva of Deadline Hollywood writes:
Comedian CPCreated and written by "King of the Hill" alum CHIP Hall and rising Detroit comedian CHRIS Powell aka Comedian CP, Brightmoor is described as "South Park" set in inner-city Detroit. It revolves around the African American pupils at Brightmoor Elementary.
Combs will executive produce through his Revolt Films Banner and Sarah Snedeker overseeing and serving as producer. Underground’s Trevor Engelson, and Five All In The Fifth’s Doug Banker also executive produce. Hall and CP will also produce. FX had no comment.
Julie Hinds of the Detroit Free Press notes that "while development is a very early stage of the Hollywood process, the concept is an intriguing one."
