LOS ANGELES (AP) – New Edition will be the subject of a BET miniseries.
The network and Jesse Collins Entertainment announced Monday that they are producing a still-untitled three-night miniseries chronicling the “Candy Girl” and “Cool It Now” group.
New Edition members Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant will serve as consultants and executive producers on the project. New Edition founding member Bobby Brown was not mentioned in the statement announcing the project.
“Everyone’s been waiting for the New Edition saga to be told in all its triumphs and heartbreaks, and we can’t wait to bring it to the screen,” said BET president of programming Stephen Hill in a statement.
The miniseries is scheduled to go into production in early 2016.
