ABC Family in the US have commissioned a brand new pilot for a sitcom based on Nicki Minaj's upbringing in Queens, NYC, following her family's arrival from Trinidad And Tobago in the '90s.
Penned by Kate Angelo (The Back-Up Plan), the as-yet-untitled show will star Minaj herself, who is also serving as executive producer.
If ABC like what they see in the pilot, they will commission a full series. Shooting starts this winter.
"This is one of the more unique adventures I’ve ever embarked on," says Nicki. "I couldn’t be more proud and excited to team up with an amazing group of people to give the world something really special."
