Premier Ballerina Misty Copeland to Produce Ballet Drama Series for FOX

Misty Copeland is the latest big name to set her sights on television production (she joins a growing list that now includes rappers Common, Ludacris, Nicki Minaj, Childish Gambino and Sean “Diddy” Combs).

Misty made history in June when she became the first black female principal dancer at the American Ballet Theater, and now she’s joining forces with writer Tracy Oliver to develop a dance drama series for FOX.

The untitled drama series will center on a diverse group of aspiring dancers hoping to secure spots in a top ballet company.

Kudos Misty
