Hammer has been out the spotlight for a while, but now the legendary performer is going to invite the public back into his world in a new reality series called, “Hammertime.”
The show, set to air on A&E, is a real-life “The Cosby Show,” executive producer J.D. Roth says. “Hammertime” will star the rapper’s wife and five kids.
“Here’s a dad with five kids, married to the same woman for more than 23 years, living in the same place where he grew up and going to church every Sunday,” Roth told the Hollywood Reporter. “He’s had his ups and downs, and it’s what makes him such a character you root for.”
A&E will debut 11 episodes of “Hammertime.” Shooting starts next week.
