John Legend and his model-turned-TV celebrity wife Chrissy Teigen are the inspiration behind a new sitcom from Black-ish creator Kenya Barris.
“It’s inspired by them — they’re both super creative and super effusive and I’m just fans of them and everything they stand for,” Barris said.
The project, tentatively called “Ordinary People” after the popular song by the same name, will have Teigen and Legend as executive producers.
“But it will be a part of the show in terms of showing those two world’s colliding and coming together — their issues and their obstacles that [happen inside] their personal relationship.”
If the project is green-lighted, it will begin filming in February.
