Calvin Harris has helped develop a dance music-themed HBO sitcom!

  • January 23, 2014

Calvin HarrisCalvin Harris has helped create a new dance music-inspired HBO sitcom written by Irvine Welsh and executive produced by Will Smith and Jay'-'Z.

WE SAID, "CALVIN HARRIS HAS HELPED CREATE A NEW DANCE MUSIC-INSPIRED HBO SITCOM WRITTEN BY IRVINE WELSH AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY WILL SMITH AND JAY'-'Z".

Hello.

According to Deadline, the sitcom is called Higher (we'll probably just refer to it as Curb Your EnthusiEDM if that's alright)  and it's a fictional comedy "set in the world of elec­tronic music" which has been developed with Harris' input.

Literally amazing.

(If this turns out to be bollocks we are going to be furious but it's almost too ridicu­lous to be made up, isn't it?)
