Having produced two NBA championships with the Miami Heat, the next step for LeBron James will be producing scripted television comedy.
The Starz cable network announced Tuesday that the Heat forward along with Tom Werner, Mike O’Malley, Maverick Carter and Paul Wachter will develop a half-hour scripted comedy series, Survivor’s Remorse, for Starz, with James serving as an executive producer.
Mike O’Malley will serve as executive producer and writer. He previously worked as consulting producer and writer on Shameless and as an actor in Glee, Justified and My Name is Earl.
To James, who is not scheduled to appear in the series, it expands a presence that already has moved beyond the confines of the court.
