Girls Trip helmer Malcolm D. Lee will take over for Terence Nance in the sequel to the 1996 hit that starred Michael Jordan. Production had already been underway when the studio announced Tuesday that Lee has boarded the film. 

According to Deadline, Nance’s exit from the project was due to the filmmaker and the studio’s different takes on the creative vision for Space Jam 2. 

Black Panther filmmaker Ryan Coogler is producing Space Jam 2. He also penned the latest draft of the script with Sev Ohanian.

Lee’s other credits include Night School and Barbershop: The Final Cut.

Lee is back in business with Universal for his first TV project from his Blackmaled Productions. The Universal TV project has a put pilot commitment from NBC for the family drama set in Harlem. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will follow the Cooper family. After suffering a catastrophic event, seven family members face a foundational shift, make life-altering decisions and deal with deep secrets coming to light.

“To have the first project to come out of our deal with UTV be a story that I feel passionate and strongly about, that I’m getting the opportunity to write, is incredibly gratifying,” said Lee. “Just like my first film, At That Age will explore universal themes where everyone can see themselves. The specificity of exploring those dynamics with an African American family show will be emblematic of what audiences who’ve enjoyed my films should expect: heart, humor, and intelligence.”

Nikki Reed, who will serve as executive producer alongside Lee added, “I’m excited about exploring the complicated dynamics that are often universally shared by siblings. The relationship between brothers and sisters can be reflected by a titanic clash of opposing emotions, of love and hate of competition and support, of envy and admiration. Malcolm will get a chance to do a deep dive into these delicate and challenging relationships in At That Age.”
