ABC has ordered a pilot to be made that's based on John Mayer's track "Heart of Life," Varietyreports

"Heart of Life" was featured of Mayer's third studio album Continuum. The project was released back in 2006 and included the singles "Waiting on the World to Change," "Belief," "Gravity," "Dreaming with a Broken Heart," and "Say." Mayer, as well as Ben Queen, Melvin Mar, Jake Kasdan, and Paul Weitz, will serve as executive producers on the show. Queen will also write. The project will be produced with ABC Studios and 20th Century Fox Television. Heart of Life will be the first TV show Mayer has acted as a producer for.

Shortly after the news broke, the musician took to IG to talk about it all. "Some songs have a little extra story left in them," he wrote in the caption. "I’m excited to work with some hugely talented people to help tell this one."

The drama will follow the story of two very different siblings who find out that they're related. 

In other news, Mayer will be headed on tour. Check out dates below.
