Jaden Smith Is Kanye West In New Showtime Series

After Earth‘s Jaden Smith is starring in a Kanye West developed anthology series for Showtime. Not only is Jaden Smith starring in the series but he is going to portray an alternate reality version of Kanye West himself. The series is titled Omniverse. Another detail states Omniverse examines the many doors of perception. The first season will explore the Ego through an alternative reality West, portrayed by Jaden Smith.

It’s astonishing how many different disciplines Kanye West has dabbled in. Now comes his first foray into producing television. Omniverse is produced by Westbrook Studios, Scooter Braun’s SB Projects, writer Lee Sung Jin, and Jaden Smith.

Lee Sung Jin is co-executive producer on the Amazon series Undone. Lee Sung Jin commented “I’m honored and thrilled to be collaborating with everyone involved to present an alternate world through the eyes of a young man somewhere in the multiverse who happens to also be a Kanye West,” and “‘Omniverse’ is not set in our world nor about our world’s Kanye West as we aim to add a new spin on alternate realities, consciousness, and push the limits of half-hour narrative.”

This could be interesting. West has innovated in other fields. Whether you like his work or not is a pure matter of opinion. One thing’s certain, with big names like Kanye West and Jaden Smith Omniverse will be on a lot of people’s radar. Can West produce television that has the same level of cultural impact of his music and fashion? What are your thoughts on Omniverse?
