Lizzo To Play Rock ‘N’ Roll Pioneer Rosetta Tharpe In ‘Rosetta’ For Amazon MGM Studios


Rosetta, starring Lizzo, is in development at Amazon MGM Studios.

As she shatters musical boundaries with her signature guitar sound, she must navigate societal constraints, conceal her love for another woman, and ultimately transform a wedding into one of the most legendary concerts in history—the first stadium show. Along the way, she’s headlined her own Emmy-nominated HBO special, Lizzo: Live In Concert, as well as produced and starred in the multi-Emmy Award-winning Amazon MGM Studios reality TV show Watch Out For the Big Grrrls. In television, Bongiovi and Whitaker are executive producers of Godfather of Harlem and the docuseries Hollywood Black, both on MGM+, and are in active development of the upcoming Amazon MGM premium fantasy series, Rise of the Empress.
