US TV channel Lifetime has given the green light to two music-related projects, a miniseries on rap group Salt-N-Pepa and a biopic on gospel group the Clark Sisters.

Queen Latifah is an executive producer for both projects via her Flavor Unit production company, with Mary J. Blige and Missy Elliott among the executive producers for the Clark Sisters film. Both projects are slated for programming in 2020.

The Salt-N-Pepa miniseries traverses the lives of Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandra “Pepa” Denton, as they transition from nursing school students to entering the world of hip-hop and rap and their rise and successes, which includes becoming the first female rap act to go platinum. The miniseries will feature a slew of Salt-N-Pepa hits, including ‘Let’s Talk About Sex,’ ‘What a Man,’ ‘Shoop’ and ‘Push It,’ among others. James and Denton will serve as executive producers alongside Jesse Collins, while Flavor Unit’s Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere.
