Amid the success of BET’s miniseries the “New Edition Story,” BET is ready for Woody McClain to go solo. According to Deadline, BET has inked a deal with the miniseries star, who played Bobby Brown in the hit series, to reprise his role in a two-part story, titled “The Bobby Brown Story,” set for Fall 2018.

Abdul Williams and Jesse Collins have joined forces, once again, to pick up where they left off in “New Edition Story.” According to Deadline, the project will focus on Brown’s solo success, his hardships, and love life. From his affair with Janet Jackson and his marriage to Whitney Houston, the story will also be a story about redemption, and overcoming adversity, BET revealed.
According to Deadline, the team is currently casting for Houston, Bobbi Kristina, Jackson, Teddy Riley, L.A. Reid, and Babyface to join McClain for the project.
