Lee Daniels is developing a girl-group musical series at Fox
Not content to rest on his laurels after co-creating the biggest breakout hit in recent television history, Empire’s Lee Daniels is developing his second musical series for Fox. Daniels’ new show, tentatively titled Star, was announced by Fox’s co-chairmen Dana Walden and Gary Newman during their executive panel at the Television Critics Association Press Tour. Whereas Empire is set in New York’s hip hop scene, Star will be about an Atlanta-based R&B girl group, with Daniels pulling inspiration from Dreamgirls to modern-day Supremes facsimiles like Destiny’s Child and TLC.
