LeBron James' production company has a deal with NBC to develop a drama based partially on renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews.
Andrews will act as a consultant on the project with James and business partner Maverick Carter as executive producers. James, who played himself in the comedy film "Trainwreck" last summer, is not slated to star in the series.
It is set to follow the life of a doctor who treats high-profile athletes.
James recently bought a home in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles and spent much of the summer there as his company, SpringHill Entertainment, works on projects as part of a deal with Warner Bros.
SpringHill is behind current shows "Survivor's Remorse" and "Cleveland Hustles." James is also developing a "Space Jam" reboot with Warner Bros.
He is currently in China doing Nike promotional work and has organized a workout for his Cavs teammates in Santa Barbara, California, later this month.
The Hollywood Reporter first reported the deal.
