Jada Pinkett Smith is set to star in the upcoming Netflix drama 'Redd Zone'.
The 'Girls Trip' star will play the role of Tia Magee in the movie based on the true story of a single mother (Tia), "who helps her sons and their high school football teammates, "The Bros", heal after the murder of their best friend, Dominic Redd."
The synopsis continues: "One by one, the boys start moving into her house, and soon, 17 of "The Bros" are living under her roof. Eventually, all of them go to college, and four make it to the NFL. Magee’s son, Brandon Magee, became a linebacker for the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and was later drafted by the Boston Red Sox to play outfield."
As per Variety, Jada will produce along with Miguel Melendez and Jon Mone of Westbrook Studios, and Howard Burkons.
Brandon Magee is set to executive produce.
'Redd Zone' is a tribute to the real life Dominic Redd.
