Kanye West is developing a bizarre new anthology series for Showtime called Omniverse and Jaden Smith is set to play Kanye… in an alternate reality.
The series is said to be a limited half-hour anthology series “examining the many doors of perception.” The first season, will “explore ego through the alternative reality of West.” I guess this makes sense as Kanye is known for have a big over-blown ego.
I’m not really sure what to expect from this series but it sure sounds like it could be interesting. The series is being written by Lee Sung Jin, who is a writer on HBO’s Silicon Valley. He offered some additional details on the series, saying:
“I’m honored and thrilled to be collaborating with everyone involved to present an alternate world through the eyes of a young man somewhere in the multiverse who happens to also be a Kanye West. Omniverse is not set in our world nor about our world’s Kanye West as we aim to add a new spin on alternate realities, consciousness, and push the limits of half hour narrative.”
Well, let’s see how this thing plays out! Will you be giving the show a shot?
