LeBron James to work as producer of sitcom

NBA champion and MVP LeBron James will add yet another title to his resume - sitcom producer.

CBS Sports reported Tuesday that James will be executive producer on an upcoming sitcom called Survivor’s Remorse.

The 30-minute sitcom, which will air on the Starz network, will follow two people who escape inner city Philadelphia and become successful. The plot will follow the two as they deal with the pitfalls, guilt and the peers and family that they left behind.

James will be working alongside actor Mike O’Malley, who has also signed on as an executive producer and Tom Werner, most noted as the producer of Roseanne and The Cosby Show, as reported by the Associated Press.

This is not the 2013 NBA MVP’s first venture into television. He created and was an executive producer of a YouTube cartoon series called The Lebrons, which was partially based on his life and the Nike characters from his endorsement with the sport apparel line. The series ended after only two seasons.

No tentative date or cast has been released for the series.
