According to The Wrap, Maya will play Shirle, a former 90’s R&B diva who is also Moose’s challenging boss. Smith will play a “New Atlanta” teenager named Curtis, who lives next door to Langston. Curtis is said to be loud and boisterous neighbor who’s erratic behavior and suspicious income brings about attention. Both Maya and Smith will be placed on recurring status if the show is picked up for a full series. Brothers In Atlanta will reunite Maya with her former Saturday Night Live boss, Lorne Michaels who will serve as an executive producer and with Riddle and Salahuddin who served as writers for her self-titled variety show. No word on when the pilot will start production.
