Stephan James is set to star as graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat in a brand new series, according to Variety.

The If Beale Street Could Talk star will team up with Boat Rocker Studios and Shamier Anderson to co-produce the show.

Set in 1980s New York City, the series will showcase the rise of Basquiat, from an obscure graffiti artist to a Neo-expressionist painter of rockstar status. It will also explore Basquiat’s close friendship with Andy Warhol and his ultimate demise.

“I am thrilled to partner with Boat Rocker to bring to life the story of Jean-Michel Basquiat,” Stephan shared in a statement. “Jean-Michel is an artist I have long revered, and someone who has greatly influenced my work over the years.”

He added, “To embody such a revolutionary, whose influence in the modern era of pop culture is simply immeasurable, will simply be one of the greatest honors of my career.”

The search is currently on for a writer for the project.

Stephan‘s recent projects include Homecoming at Amazon, #FreeRayshawn for Quibi, and Shots Fired at Fox.

The film stars Stephan James, J.K. Simmons, Alexander Ludwig, Lil Rel Howery, Tim Blake Nelson, Russell Wilson, Andrew Bachelor, Jeffrey Donovan, David Koechner, Kristin Chenoweth, Timothy Olyphant and Uzo Aduba.

Here’s a synopsis: Three days before the college football national championship game, star quarterback LeMarcus James (James) and teammate Emmett Sunday (Ludwig) ignite a player’s strike declaring they won’t compete until all student-athletes are fairly compensated. With billions of dollars at risk and legacies on the line, the stakes could not be higher. Now, with only hours until kickoff, the head coach (Simmons) and various power brokers must race against the clock to protect or destroy the prevailing collegiate athletics system.

The movie is theaters on December 10, 2021.

Janelle Monae sits down onstage to discuss the upcoming season season of Homecoming during the Amazon studios panel held at the 2020 Winter TCA Tour Day 8 at The Langham Huntington on Tuesday (January 14) in Pasadena, Calif.

The 33-year-old actress and singer was joined at the event by her co-stars Stephan James and Hong Chau, as well as co-creators Sam Esmail, Eli Horowitz, Michael Bloomberg and Kyle Patrick Alvarez.

Janelle Monáe will step into a lead role on the show that previously starred Julia Roberts

“When I saw Season 1 and I listened to the podcast, I was a fan. When I had the opportunity to be a part of the show, I said, ‘Hell yeah!’ I moved my schedule around and I made it happen,” Janelle expressed (via IndieWire). “It’s just been an honor to join this family and to push myself as an artist to give the best performance that I possibly can.”

“This season is much more expansive in its locations and its energies. It’s much more aiming outside that narrative world and not as contained within the facility,” Horowitz said of the new season

“It some ways, this season goes far afield from where we were in Season 1. In other ways, it’s directly tied to the moments where we left off in Season 1 and is intimately involved with more the corporate side of what was done to the men and the consequences of that,” Bloomberg added.
