Will & Jada continue to show their marriage is fine, as well as their business matters. Will & Jada's production company has sold a new sitcom to ABC.
Via The Hollywood Reporter:
The project centers on a Dominican-American (played by Anthony “Romeo” Santos) who is torn between his traditional roots and his ideas about what it means to be successful in America.
The project, which hails from ABC Studios and their Overbrook Entertainment, centers on a charasmatic Dominican-American (Romeo) from Washington Heights, who tries to please his very traditional, immigrant father while also creating a life that reflects his new vision of the American Dream.
In real life, Santos is the lead singer for popular Dominican Bachata group Aventura. The show is slightly based on Santos’ real life relationship with his father.
Chris Pappas and Mike Bernier (Unhitched, One Night Stan) will serve as writers and executive producers on the project, with the Smiths and Lassiter attached as non-writing executive producers.
If ultimately ordered to series, it would join a growing empire of Smith projects, including films The Karate Kid and The Secret Life of Bees, along with Broadway's Fela! and TNT's since-canceled Hawthorne.
