The Grammy-winning pop star Justin Timberlake teamed with the
production company Reveille to create an American adaptation of the hit
Peruvian comedy “My Problem With Women” for NBC.
The sitcom has been sold to 20
countries. Apparently, Reveille had been looking to collaborate on a series
with the Sexy Back singer for several years. According to the New York Daily
News, Timberlake said: “I am very excited to be collaborating with Reveille to
bring this hugely successful format to NBC.”
The project follows the adventures of Jose, a bachelor who
is seeing a therapist, as a result of his failure in romantic relationship and
it will offer a smart and hilarious take on the battle between the sexes.
Reveille developed the successful BBC series "The
Office" for NBC and the Spanish-language telenova "Ugly Betty"
for ABC. The company is also responsible for the hit reality show “American
Gladiator.”
The show will mark the 27-year-old's first foray into
television producing. Justin Timberlake is to be the executive producer of the U.S.
adaptation, together with his manager David Schiff.
Reveille's Howart T. Owens declared: “We think he is one of
the best artists in the world across different platforms, and we want to tap
his creative energy and storytelling abilities”, reports OK! Magazine.
"With our success in adapting international television programming for
U.S. audiences combined with Justin's creative instincts as an entertainer and
performer, we are looking forward to developing another mega hit for NBC."
Until now, NBC has ordered only a pilot script for the show,
so the sitcom has a long way to go before it will become a hit.
