Norman Lear Sets Two Series for IMDb TV; Nick Jonas to Pull Double Duty on SNL This Saturday
TV legend Norman Lear is still going strong at 98 years old. He has two series in development at IMDb Tv. The first is a comedy starring George Wallace and Laverne Cox called Clean Slate, which was originally developed for Peacock last year, but now IMDb will be developing it. In the series, old school car wash owner, Henry (George Wallace), is thrilled that his estranged child is returning to Alabama after 17 years. However, Henry has a lot of soul searching to do when the child he thought was a son returns as the determined, proud, trans woman, Desiree (Laverne Cox). The other project is drama series Loteria, which is based on the card game, follows two estranged teen siblings who set off on an adventure across Mexico to collect 16 magical Lotería cards, unearthing the power of their history and culture in the hope of reuniting their family. Both series are from Norman Lear's Act III Productions and Sony Pictures Television. Stay tuned for much more information on these series.
Nick Jonas will pull double duty when he takes the stage for his Saturday Night Live hosting debut and second solo musical guest appearance on Feb. 27. Jonas will perform his newly announced single, Spaceman, due out Feb 25. Spaceman arrives as Jonas returns as a coach on NBC's The Voice, which premieres March 1, and also appears in the upcoming Lionsgate film Chaos Walking, arriving March 5. Saturday Night Live is produced in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels.
