Shawn Amos: Last News

Disney Branded Television will bring Shawn Amos’ debut novel Cookies & Milk to screen with an animated series currently in development. The project hails from Laurence Fishburne and Helen Sugland of Cinema Gypsy Productions (black-ish), Jesse Murphy and James Sears Bryant of Jesse James Films and Shawn Amos.

The Reverend Shawn Amos has accomplished much in the music industry, both as a performer and behind the scenes. And on his new album Blue Sky -- due out April 17 and including the track "Troubled Man" that's premiering exclusively on Billboard today (March 12) -- he's found another new creative route.
