UPN planning Alicia Keys show

UPN, riding high with its new Chris Rock sitcom “Everybody Hates Chris,” is working with Grammy-winning singer Alicia Keys to develop a drama loosely based on her childhood, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The coming-of-age story will follow a girl from a biracial family. Keys, 24, was born to a white mother and a black father, who split up when she was 2. She was raised by her mother in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, started learning classical piano at 6 and frequently ventured to Harlem to absorb the lifestyle.

Keys will serve as an executive producer of the project, which has received a script commitment from the network. The script will be written by Felicia Henderson, whose series credits include Showtime’s “Soul Food,” UPN’s “Moesha” and NBC’s “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”
