The Drop - The CW Developing EDM Drama from a Nashville Producer - best f y

The CW and CBS TV Studios are taking another stab at developing a drama with electronic dance music theme. The network has put in development The Drop, from Nashville executive producer R.J. Cutler, DJ Steve Angello, CBS TV Studios and studio-based Kennedy/Marshall Company.

Set in the sexy, non-stop world of Miami’s Electronic Dance Music scene, The Drop centers on a DJ teetering on the edge of ruin who finds hope (and more)in a gifted protégé who is female and African-American, both rarities in the EDM world. Write-musician Kyle Jarrow (A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant) is penning the script, with Cutler set to direct. The two will executive produce with Kennedy/Marshall’s Frank Marshall and Robert Zotnowski. Angello, a member of former electronic music group Swedish House Mafia, is attached as an executive music producer.
