Mandy Moore<\/a><\/strong>‘s career has been quite the walk to remember and now it’s inspiring the small screen. <\/p>\n

Nearly two decades before the star brought Rebecca Pearson to life on This Is Us<\/em>, Moore was a Florida-based teenage singer with a hit single, “Candy.” The track and her platinum debut studio album launched her as a pop star in the millennium era of Britney Spears<\/a><\/strong>, Christina Aguilera<\/a><\/strong> and Jessica Simpson<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

While Moore forged a path in movies and TV shortly after with roles in hits like The Princess Diaries<\/em>, A Walk to Remember<\/em> and Chasing Liberty<\/em>, she also kept the music coming in the 2000s with six studio albums in total.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, fans know her best as the matriarch of the Pearson clan, which has earned her an Emmy and Golden Globe nod. But, that’s not all. According to multiple <\/em>reports, the multi-hyphenate is putting on her executive producer hat for a drama series inspired by her own career. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

According to Variety<\/a><\/em>, ABC gave a put pilot order for the drama series, reportedly currently called, “90’s Popstar.” Per the multiple reports, the series is about a family from small town Florida and what happens when their teenage daughter becomes a pop star “overnight.” This story certainly sounds familiar.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Moore will be in familiar company as Variety<\/em> reported she will produce with This Is Us <\/em>executive producers Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, as well as Adam Londy, Regina Lee and Marc Webb, who will also reportedly direct. <\/p>\n

Moore confirmed the upcoming project on Instagram, writing Friday, “Big news! I’m so thrilled and grateful for the chance to tell a version of my own story with an incredible team (including our TIU show runners\/writers @iaptaker and @bergernight). It’s my first project as a producer and I can not wait to watch it come to fruition.”<\/p>\n

According to Variety<\/em>, 20th Century Fox will produce the series. Last year, Moore signed a pod deal<\/a> with the company to develop and produce for television. At the 2018 Emmys, she told E!’s Giuliana Rancic<\/a><\/strong>she is excited to find women-focused and musical-leaning projects. <\/p>\n

“When you’re lucky enough to have a platform because of your job, it’s like you gotta start thinking about the future and what’s next,” she told Rancic at the time. <\/p>\n

After dropping a new single for the first time<\/a> in 10 years last month, it sounds like that future is being sprinkled with more of her past. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
