Sandra Bullock is teaming with Amazon and fellow executive producers John Legend and Akiva Goldsman for a musical dramedy loosely inspired by Bullock's time in college
The untitled project, which is in development at the streamer, is set in the deep South in 1980s and the oppressive cultural norms that defined the place and time. The show will focus on a darkly offbeat young woman who defies expectations and sets out in search of love, community and, most importantly, an identity of her own.
The show will feature music and dance and traverse the worlds of drag culture, mental health and the AIDS epidemic while following a group of young outcasts who band together and dare to be themselves, despite facing real danger in doing so. The idea sprang from conversations Bullock had with Goldsman . Goldsman then brought in Marja-Lewis Ryan to help develop the concept; Ryan is now showrunner on Showtime'sand will be a consulting producer on the Amazon project. K.C. Perry is writing the script.
