The Homecoming alum will star in the untitled project from Bay Mills Studios that will be shopped around. "The project will be set during the 1980s as Basquiat emerges from being an obscure graffiti artist born in Brooklyn to becoming a Neo-expressionist painter of rockstar status in Manhattan," according to The Hollywood Reporter. "The scripted series will also explore Basquiat’s close friendship with Andy Warhol and his early death."
