NBC Buys Music Drama from NASHVILLE Producers, Milo Ventimiglia and Craig Brewer

Meredith Lavender and Marcie Ulin, former NASHVILLE executive producers, have teamed with Milo Ventimiglia and EMPIRE's Craig Brewer for a one-hour series pitch that has landed at NBC, according to Deadline. NBC ordered a script commitment plus penalty from the new drama series project.

The untitled project centers on gifted musician Madison, who fears her life in the music business is over after an epic breakdown on stage goes viral. With a new boldness she teams up with her musical prodigy sisters to form a band that might be more than what they bargained for. Thrust into a world that is far more cutthroat and challenging than they ever imagined, they try to balance their individual ambitions, dreams and secrets while trying to survive the roller coaster that is fame and success.

The drama comes from Ventimiglia and Russ Cundiff's DiVide Pictures and 20th Century FOX TV, where Lavender, Ulin and DiVide are under deals. Lavender and Ulin will executive produce with Ventimiglia and Cundiff with Brewer, who is attached to direct.

Lavender and Ulin worked NASHVILLE during its four-season run on ABC. They recently worked on Fox's The Gifted. Ventimiglia stars as of Jack on NBC's This Is Us. Brewer is co-executive producer on Fox's Empire.
