Jessica Simpson is about to take over your video devices from big-screen TVs to small handhelds.
The 40-year-old singer announced on Wednesday that she has signed a multi-media deal with Amazon Studios to produce two series and two narrated essays.
The first series will be a scripted "fictionalized coming of age series" about the fashion designer's mid-20s. The second will be an "intimate unscripted docuseries" inspired by her tell-all memoir “Open Book." It will also have a musical component.
On Twitter she posted, "I am humbled and honored to partner with @amazonstudios to bring my story and heart to life on the screen and executive produce a fictionalized coming of age series about my mid-twenties, a new intimate unscripted docuseries with music as a key component and 2 essays -- where I will share my soul and perspective while holding your heart close to mine. I am a huge TV fan and many of my favorite shows live on Amazon, so the gift of this unprecedented collaboration is the brightest visible dream for me," Simpson confirmed on social media.
