Adult Swim to Feature Lin-Manuel Miranda in FREESTYLE LOVE SUPREME Pilot

According to Variety, Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda and his free-style rap group Freestyle Love Supreme will be featured on a pilot for Adult Swim. Also starring Utkarsh Ambudkar, the pilot will be 'based on the stage show of the same name.' 

Over the past decade, their one-of-a-kind interactive blend of music, comedy and hip -hop has earned them the title of masters in the art of freestyle rhyme from the New York Times. Helmed by the creators of the Grammy & Tony Award -winning musical In The Heights Bill Sherman and Lin Manuel Miranda, Freestyle Love Supreme's six performers are driven by improvisation and take the crowd on a hurry-fasten-your-seatbelt ride, spinning cues from the audience into instantaneous riffs and fully realized music numbers.
