HBO is making Brothers in Atlanta, a comedy series created by and starring former Late Night With Jimmy Fallon writers Diallo Riddle and Bashir Salahuddin (above), and produced by legendary SNL producer Lorne Michaels, Variety reports.
They play two best friends in show business (a backup singer and a DJ) who fall in to "get-rich schemes" and other hijinx as they "try to navigate relationships and life in the black mecca of Atlanta."
SNL alum Maya Rudolph plays the demanding diva boss of one of the guys and Jaden Smith plays the other's quirky, rowdy teenage neighbor with a "suspicious income." I can't imagine Smith having any issues with that whole quirky, unpredictable vibe.
With the insane run of high-quality stuff coming from HBO recently, don't even think about it, just watch.
