In a effort to move its flagship network closer to it 98% original programming initiative, MTV announced its working on several new show for the fall, including a sketch comedy show from Oscar Winner JAMIE FOXX.

The multi-hyphenate will Executive Produce the series alongside his managers/partners Marcus and Jamie King and the network describes it as, “The next generation of In Living Color‘.” While it’s unclear exactly what Foxx’s on-screen role will be, he’s said to be very active on the development side – even hand-picking writer Fax Behr to run the series.

An In Living Color regular, Foxx (a reported new father), along with Jim Carrey, Jennifer Lopez, David Allen Grier, Tommy Davidson and Damon Wayans got their start on the ground-breaking FOX series.

The still untitled series – along with the VH1 series From G’s To Gents – will fulfill Foxx’s 2 series development deal he inked with MTV two years ago.
