WE tv Orders Drama ‘Kold x Windy’

WE tv has greenlit eight one-hour episodes of a new scripted drama series, “Kold x Windy,” from creators Kenny Young, Phil James, and Vernon “Xtreme” Brown. The logline: “Kold x Windy” follows rising hip hop and drill star Malika (stage name Kold), who is desperate to create a better life for her and her son in Chicago’s south side. Her trusted confidant and group member Renee (stage name Windy) is a rapper with a strong dedication to the city streets. As Malika’s career begins to ignite, her lifelong hustle – credit card fraud – catches up with her and rival drill artists see her as a threat. Faced with increasing pressure to make music, a checkered past, a new love and her troubled son, Malika finds herself at a crossroads and must decide which path to choose. However best friend Renee, who like Malika chose the hustle of credit card fraud, believes maintaining an allegiance to the streets is what’s most important to help their reputation in the hip hop and drill game. Renee is not in support of Malika’s strong desire to change her image and will stop at nothing to prevent it. Will Malika be able to break free of her life of street crime to achieve her music dreams and save her family?

The series is expected to debut on WE tv in fall 2022.

“Kold x Windy” is Co-Created by Kenny Young, Phil James, and Vernon “Xtreme” Brown of Chalice Entertainment.
