Anthony Zuiker, the creator of CBS’ popular crime franchise “CSI,” is teaming up with rapper LL Cool J for a new show.

The two will work together on “The Man,” a series that will see LL Cool J playing an undercover LAPD officer who balances his work with raising three adopted and troubled children.

“We’re going to have a different sting every week, while the children’s stories will be serialized,” Zuiker says of the show, according to Reuters.

Zuiker also said that the role was actually inspired by LL Cool J himself, as he balances life as a popular musician with life as a father of four.

“He can be a talented multiplatinum rapper and an amazing father,” Zuiker said. “He has such an amazing spirit and has a great connection with the audience.”

The first season of the series is currently being written. No possible dates have been announced for its debut.
