Fox is getting an early jump on development season and coming out of the gate swinging with its first drama order.
The network is teaming with wrapper-actor-producer Tip "T.I." Harris and Jerry Bruckheimer to develop police procedural Atlanta's Most Wanted. The drama, which landed at Fox with a significant penalty, will star T.I. as Marcus Armstrong, a guy born in Atlanta to an infamous criminal father who is recruited to be part of a new vice squad that tackles the growing criminal elements in his hometown. Marcus' involvement will jeopardize his own long-held secret that threatens to upend his entire life.
Rodney Barnes (Everybody Hates Chris, The Boondocks) will pen the script for the 20th Century Fox Television and Jerry Bruckheimer Television drama. Bruckheimer TV topper Jonathan Littman, Brian Sher, KristieAnne Reid, Rob Hardy and T.I. will exec produce. Mitzi Miller is on board as a co-exec producer and James Oh will produce.
