Stepping outside of the realm of music he so eloquently graces, singer-songwriter John Legend is about to embark upon a career in television. After receiving several hits from multiple networks, Legend eventually entered exclusive negotiations with the FOX network and landed a deal for his show, Mixed Blessings. The show is a comedy project which will be executive produced by Legend and Mike Jackson through their film company, Get Lifted.

Here’s what the show is all about…

Inspired by Jackson’s childhood growing up in suburban Philadelphia, Mixed Blessings centers on a prominent, black, street-bred hip-hop artist enjoying his single life who discovers that he has a teenage son and decides to connect with him and his white suburban family. The show explores the culture clash and the complicated journey of a father and son beginning their relationship as the dad soon discovers that fame, talent, and wealth get you nowhere when it comes to parenting.

No word yet on when Mixed Blessings will premiere, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
