Dr. Dre is coming straight to your television – but instead of rapping and producing like he did on last year’s Compton, the legendary beatmaker and Beats co-founder will be acting in ‘Vital Signs,’ Apple’s first original scripted series.
‘Vital Signs’ will be bankrolled by Apple, but no details are available regarding when it will air, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
All of the six 30-minute episodes will be released at the same time, possibly via Netflix and Amazon, and will reportedly focus on an emotion and how Dre, the star of the show, responds to it.

And yes, sex and violence will be part of the series. THR reports that an orgy scene was filmed this week with Dre’s wife Nicole Threatt Young present.
According to the report, the company is open to doing similar projects with other artists who have relationships with the brand. That could include Drake, Future, Pharrell, and DJ Khaled.
