The as-yet untitled drama will be set in Eminem's native Detroit, Michigan and will revolve around the relationship between two detectives investigating the murder of an undercover cop.

Joe Carnahan, who wrote and directed the original film, has written a pilot script and will serve as director and executive producer of the TV project.

Insiders tell Deadline.com that Eminem is considering writing original music for the series, which has been in development for a year. Producers are expected to start shopping the show to network executives in the near future.
