As the world awaits ‘Straight Outta Compton’ – the highly anticipated biopic chronicling the rise and fall of rap supergroup N.W.A. – BET has announced its plans to tell the story of another of Urban music’s most prized acts from the 80’s…New Edition.

‘An original miniseries based on the iconic 1980s R&B/ pop group New Edition is set at BET Networks, with Real Husbands Of Hollywood’s Jesse Collins executive producing through his Jesse Collins Entertainment banner, in association with New Edition Enterprises. New Edition members Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant are co-producers.

Shooting is set to begin after the first of the year for premiere in 2016.’

Set for a late 2016 premiere, reports have it the yet-titled production will be a three-night miniseries with shooting set to begin early next year.
No word as of time reporting on Bobby Brown‘s involvement or approval of the forthcoming biopic.
