Drake To Star As Funnyman In New Sitcom

Rap newcomer Drake will make his return to the small screen in a new upcoming series called “Us and Them“.

While details are still scarce, the show will reportedly be an “Odd Couple”-styled sitcom.

Also Wednesday, Toronto-based the Nightingale Company said Canadian actor and rap artist Aubrey “Drake” Graham (”Degrassi: The Next Generation”) is to develop a new comedy series for the indie producer. Graham, also known as the recording artist “Drake,” and fellow actor Mazin Eisadig (”The Line”) are to co-star in “Us and Them,” a sitcom about best buddies — and polar opposites ? trying to make their way in the entertainment industry.
Drake originally made a name for himself as a star on the kids-based show “Degrassi.”
