The show will follow the Karma Chameleon singer’s move from London to LA and is being developed alongside his manager Paul Kemsley and producer Cindy Cowan (Very Bad Things).

Shooting is due to begin this summer when Boy George arrives in LA and the series will capture his new life in the US, including dating, house hunting and launching a vegan food line.

Boy George has sold more than 100 million singles and 50 million albums during his 30 year career as a solo artist and with 1980s group Culture Club.

Jeff Jenkins, exec VP of development and programming at Banijay-owned BMP, will oversee production of the series. A broadcaster is not yet attached to the project.

“Boy George is a musical and cultural icon, and it’s about time someone captured his story,” said Gil Goldschein, who was recently appointed chairman and CEO of BMP following Jonathan Murray’s decision to step down as chairman.
