The story of Mariah Carey's rise to fame is getting a drama series treatment. We have learned that Starz is developing an untitled fictional scripted drama series based on the the music superstar's real-life experiences, with Carey executive producing alongside longtime friend Brett Ratner.

Written by Nina Colman (Mahogany), the drama is set in 1986 New York City and chronicles the rise of an ambitious bi-racial 16-year-old girl, an aspiring singer-songwriter who survived a difficult childhood to become the biggest selling female music artist of all time.

Colman, who will serve as showrunner, executive produces alongside Carey and Golden Globe nominee Stella Bulochnikov (Boss) via their Magic Carpet Productions as well as Ratner, Teri Weinberg (Ugly Betty) who previously had developed with Colman, and John Cheng (Horrible Bosses).

Is she remaking Glitter as a TV show?

 

[Autodidact]

My life is complete.

Glitter will be redeemed, and you lessers will deal.

Will it, like Mariah herself, ignore the plight of her poor sister?

She's sent the sister to rehab numerous times and basically raised the lady's son. What more do you want her to do? Some people reject help.

 

[Da-Kid]

We don't need a Glitter remake stretched over 10 hours.

 

[beelzebozo]

what this really needs is an aaron sorkin scripted episode that takes place right after her new year's eve performance

 

[DriftingSpirit]

In for PopGaf gifs.

Glitter will be IN the TV show! But since the show starts in 1986, we'd have to wait for season 15.

I had no idea Glitter was literally considered one of the worst movies of all-time.

Gaddamn

I wonder if that's the kind of thing that is worth a watch just to bask in its awfulness.

 

[rtcn63]

All I can think of is TRL and ice cream for some reason

 

[Yado]

This is going to be terrible.

 

[Mechanized]

She's apparently a nightmare to work with. Good luck!

 

[Angelus Errare]

They about to exaggerate the fuck outta this.

 

[old manatee]

I actually enjoyed Glitter, but god damn, 2 hours was enough.

Bruh I saw that shit in theatres. Im a fan of her music but that movie was ghastly. I literally couldn't remember anything that happened in the movie as I was watching it. The shit was supernaturally bad.

This is so weird. Should've went with Whitney Houston. Now that's something I would watch. Have Bobby Brown showing up as a season stinger.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Why would anyone watch this?

You've got the Whitney Houston documentary coming out next month on Showtime which will probably be better.

Starz?

So there's going to be an enormous amount of nudity?

 

[Autodidact]

Why would anyone watch this?

Why wouldn't you watch a show documenting the meteoric rise, personal travails, and flawless comeback of one of the greatest legends of our time?

 

[Draper]

Can we sink her career too by referencing Broad City?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Starz is great, Mariah is great - can't wait for this.

After Black Sails ended, this was not what I was expecting next.
