After a bidding war, ABC has given a pilot order to the single-camera series that "follows A-ron, a faded R&B star and committed bachelor whose life is thrown into a tailspin when he’s saddled with raising his sister’s four kids," per Variety. "A-ron is overwhelmed and underwater until he discovers that musical talent runs in the family. With their sights set on success, A-ron’s about to learn that managing a music group might be hard, but raising four kids is even harder." The potential series will be written by Devon and Ranada Shepard and produced by 50 Cent and Blige. Family Affair marks the latest collaboration for 50 Cent and Blige, who stars in his Starz drama Power Book II: Ghost.
