Rick James Super Freak biographical true-crime TV series is in the works

Variety

Universal Content Productions is delving into the late music icon's past for what it describes as a "funkadelic mix of music biopic and true crime, chronicling James’ plans for a comeback in the early 1990s amidst a heated trial that threatened to destroy his legacy." No network or streaming service is currently attached to the series, which will be written by Chambers writer Randy McKinnon.
