Mary J. Blige-Produced Music Drama In Development At Fox!

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Fox is set to redevelop a series inspired by the life of famed choreographer and creative director Laurieann Gibson. The series, which is executive produced by Mary J. Blige, was originally titled "8 Count."

Now called "Move," the series is described as a music-fueled dramedy that follows an accomplished choreographer who, in order to redeem her damaged reputation in the cutthroat music/dance world, sets her sights on creating a flawless tour for a diva pop singer. To get the coveted gig, though, she'll have to fend off competition from her arch rival, who happens to be her former assistant. At the same time, she must act as mother hen to her talented, but often difficult, team of dancers who depend on her.

Silvio Horta will take over from Erika Johnson as writer and executive producer. FOX has given "Move" a script commitment with a penalty attached. Along with Gibson and Blige, The Jackal Group's Gail Berman and Joe Earley will executive produce.

Gibson has choreographed for huge stars including Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry. Her on-screen credits include "Making the Band," "So You Think You Can Dance," "Dance Moms," and "Starmaker."
