\"Yara<\/p>\n

There’s no doubt about it, Yara Shahidi’s career is on a major high. The Grown-ish<\/em> star is reportedly set to star in Smoakland<\/em>, a new comedy from executive producers and writers Jewel Coronel (The Chi<\/em>) and Zahir McGhee (Scandal<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Announced by Deadline<\/a><\/em> as being in development with Freeform, the single-camera series will center around Oakland native Solo, the visionary of a budding cannabis company, who navigates family expectations, changing friendships, love, and her drive to break through the \u201cgrass\u201d ceiling of the oft-closed terrain of the cannabis industry for herself and her community.<\/p>\n

And the stylish actress<\/a> and activist<\/a> won’t just be in front of the camera. She and her her mother Keri Shahidi\u2019s joint 7th Sun Productions, in partnership with ABC Signature (a part of Disney Television Studios), will produce.<\/p>\n

Smoakland<\/em> is just the latest project for the hard-working Shahidi, who was accepted to Harvard in 2018. Earlier this week, it was announced that she had been cast as Tinker Bell in the upcoming live-action Peter Pan remake Peter Pan & Wendy<\/em>. The highly-anticipated project from David Lowery will also star newcomer, Alexander Molony, as Peter Pan, Milla Jovovich’s daughter Ever Anderson, as Wendy and Jude Law as Captain Hook. The film will premiere on the streaming service Disney+<\/a>, although no date has yet been given.<\/p>\n
