Will Smith began his career on television, and he looks to take the next step for his work by returning to the small screen.
Puck News broke the story that Smith is looking to star in and produce a new untitled series that would pit him against AI.
As for whether it will be a limited series or a show consisting of several seasons, we don’t know, but Smith is seeking some significant names in terms of who will run it.
The actor looks to team with Westworld and Fallout creators Jonah Nolan and Lisa Joy. However, the report notes that “Smith has reportedly had several meetings with the showrunners,” so things aren’t set in stone.
Little is known about it, but it seems like the project came from Smith’s idea. He wants a series “set in the world of artificial intelligence” that will likely feature him fighting for humanity. For those eagle-eye Smith fans, this could be similar to the threat he faced in the 2004 film I, Robot.
The timeline of this production is not locked in yet, as Smith is still attached to star with Michael B. Jordan in an I Am Legend sequel. Stay tuned for more news concerning Smith and his many upcoming roles.
