NBC developing a drama based on Nyle DiMarco's life growing up in a multigenerational deaf family

Deadline

The deaf model, actor and activist's life growing up in a family of deaf people will be the basis for Look at Me, a potential drama series that DiMarco is producing with Neil Meron. From writers Tom Donnelly and Josh Oppenheimer, Look at Me "is an ensemble drama about a multigenerational deaf family, living under one roof, and their hearing daughter-in-law and granddaughter who move in after a change in their circumstances," according to Deadline. “I myself am the fourth generation in my family — meaning my two brothers, my parents, my grandparents and even my great-grandparents were all deaf," DiMarco has said about his upbringing. A winner of Dancing with the Stars and America's Next Top Model, DiMarco has been in the news this year as executive producer of Netflix's Deaf U and for his potential starring role in a Spectrum Originals comedy about a deaf man in modern times.
