Usher has gained some serious limelight after his dazzling Super Bowl halftime show. However, he also faced some criticism for getting “too intimate” with singer Alicia Keys during the performance. Though Keys and her husband both clarified that the situation is being misread by the fans, Usher had to face some social media criticism.
But Usher had some great things to focus on — one of them being his marriage to his long-time girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea in a secret wedding before his Super Bowl performance. Adding to his trail of happiness is Universal Studio Group’s next project which would be focused on his music.
“I Hope The Series Resonates With You The Way My Music Continues To”: Usher Intends To Connect With People Through Drama Series

Usher himself has expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating how his music has connected with audiences across generations and experiences.

The Drama Series Around Usher’s Music Is Currently In A Nascent Stage
The yet-to-be-titled drama will be based in Atlanta, a city rich in cultural vibrancy and significance for Usher. It will delve into themes of Black love and the quest for belonging, bringing together several narratives of music, style, relationships, and the complexities that test them. The logline promises a journey through the intricacies of romance, intimacy, and the hidden truths that threaten to unravel bonds.
As of now, the project is in its early stages and has not been assigned a writer yet. There also are no formal pitches to potential buyers. However, with Usher’s star power and the creative vision of the producing team, anticipation for the series is already building among fans.
In addition to this new venture, Usher recently wrapped up a successful two-year residency in Las Vegas and dropped his latest album, ‘Coming Home’ in February. His upcoming tour in August will further solidify his status in the music industry.
Usher’s representation includes WME and attorney Kenny Meiselas, while Selwyn Seyfu Hinds is represented by CAA, Entertainment 360, and attorney Gordon Bobb. KMei Productions is affiliated with CAA.
