ABC is developing a sitcom based on Justin Bieber’s early life. The network describes it as “a family -centric comedy that revolves around a future pop star’s unconventional upbringing and his awkward teenage years.” The “unconventional upbringing” aspect is that he was raised by his mother and grandparents.


The “awkward teenage years” sounds like the show will focus on his pre-fame life. Justin’s career started to develop when he was 13 years old so it is unclear wether the fictional Justin will have a longer time as a “regular” teen life for a long period of time.


Justin will not be staring on the show, but he will serve as an executive producer, as well as his manager, Scooter Braun. A few “Entourage” staff are also on board for the show. ABC might air the show next fall if things move forward quickly.
