Starz scores LeBron sitcom

US paynet Starz has given a series order to a half-hour comedy from NBA star LeBron James set in the world of professional basketball.

Survivor’s Remorse centres on a player in his early 20s who enters the limelight after signing a multimillion-dollar contract with a professional team.

The sitcom, announced last September, is expected to premiere this fall.

James serves as an exec producer, alongside Tom Werner (That 70’s Show), Maverick Carter, Paul Wachter and Mike O’Malley (actor in Glee, writer on Shameless), who will also write the show.

Survivor’s Remorse joins a Starz original programming roster that includes Black Sails, DaVinci’s Demons and the upcoming Outlander, Flesh and Bone and Power, the latter exec produced by rapper Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson.
