Jaden Smith is set to star as young
Kanye West in television series, "Omniverse". West is attached to executive produce the Showtime project, which marks his debut into small-screen production.

West, to be played by Smith.
Lee Sung Jin will serve as the writer. "I'm honoured 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.
"'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," Jin told an international website.
Jin and Smith are also attached as executive producers. Scooter Braun will executive produce, along with James Shin and Scott Manson, and Miguel Melendez.
