Zayn's executive producing an NBC show about a boyband. It's called Boys

Zayn 'ZaYn' Malik has col­lab­or­ated with a fancy Hollywood TV producer on a forth­com­ing NBC drama about a boyband called, er, Boys.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Malik and Law & Order producer Dick Wolf (DICK WOLF) will executive produce the hour-long show alongside Wolf's wife, Noelle Wolf.

Here's what the show's about, as copied and pasted from said website:

Titled Boys, the project centers [THEY MEAN CENTRES] on the formation of a hugely suc­cess­ful boy band and captures all the excite­ment, com­pet­i­tion and fun, but also takes an inside look at the pressure that comes with the success.

Hm.

This is all very well of course, but what does your friend and ours NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke have to say about it all? Quite a lot actually:

“It’s exciting to be diving into this project with such pas­sion­ate and prolific producers. Zayn certainly brings an authentic point of view to this world where kids are cata­pul­ted into fame at a dizzying speed. On top of our excite­ment around the creative ideas being discussed, we have a lot of respect for the musical and digital ambitions behind the project.”
