Huey Lewis will play a fictionalized version of himself in a mockumentary-style series currently in development at Fox, our sister site Deadline reports.
Whatever Happened to Huey Lewis follows the rock ’n’ roll legend as he “navigates his new life after losing his hearing,” per the show’s synopsis. “With the help of his codependent family and eccentric celebrity friends, Huey will tackle this hilarious next phase with his signature Heart and Soul.” (Note: Lewis was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease in 2018).
