Showtime is developing a new comedy series from Gabrielle Union.
The new series, New Money, is being developed by Union and her I’ll Have Another productions banner at the premium cabler. The show hails from Sony Pictures Television.
Union also teamed with former ESPN star Jemele Hill to bring us the half-hour comedy series about Black women with financial independence.
According to Deadline, the comedy is centered on “black women who have solidified their careers, achieved financial independence and moved past the awkwardness and money struggles of their twenties. Now firmly in their 30s, the ladies must deal with the repercussions their ‘new money’ brings, including hangers-on, false friends, unwanted media attention, and greedy relatives—while also navigating the treacherous world of dating.”
On board to write and executive produce the show alongside Union and Hill is Patrik-Ian Polk.
Union’s most recent gig was in front of the camera in L.A.’s Finest, which was canceled after just a couple of seasons.
