The Hollywood Reporter

Daniels and former Star showrunner Karin Gist -- who is currently showrunner on Mixed-ish -- are reteaming for Our Kind of People, an adaptation of Lawrence Otis Graham's 1999 book about the world of the black upper class. Gist will pen the script for Our Kind of People, which was previously in development at Fox in 2017. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "the potential series revolves around single mother Angela Vaughn, who risks it all and moves her family to Martha’s Vineyard with hopes of taking her natural hair-care line to the next level by infiltrating the African American elite in Oak Bluffs. But she soon discovers a secret about her past that just might change her position and shake up her life and this influential community forever."
