Multiple reports suggest Jaden Smith is set to play a young Kanye West in the upcoming tv series Omniverse.
Omniverse will be executive produced by Kanye West, and is, as Variety describes it, a "half-hour anthology series examining the many doors of perception."
The first season is set to explore the theme of ego with an alternate reality version of Kanye West, played by Jaden Smith.
Jaden Smith recently performed at Coachella, and released a new EP ERYS IS COMING after last year's The Sunset Tapes: A Cool Story.
Kanye West also recently took his Sunday Service group to Coachella, where he performed new song "Water".
Omniverse is currently in pre-production. Showtime have ordered a script for the series.
