Gladys Knight Scripted Series In The Works With Cineflix
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Gladys Knight, the Empress of Soul who recorded hits such as Midnight Train to Georgia and I Heard It Through The Grapevine, is gearing up for a scripted mini-series about her life.
Knight has teamed up with Cineflix Productions to develop the series and she will exec produce through her Empress of Soul Productions banner.
It’s suggested that the project could run similar to The Crown, taking on different period of Knight’s life. If the project progresses, Knight would become the latest soul legend to have a series set around her; Cynthia Erivo starred as Aretha Franklin in the third iteration of Nat Geo’s Genius anthology last year.
Cineflix Productions is coming off the success of feature doc Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy, from Nancy Buirski, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
