Timberlake bringing Peruvian comedy to US TV

Pop star Justin Timberlake is bringing the American version of a hit Peruvian comedy to US TV network NBC.

The singer-turned-actor will reportedly serve as an executive producer on 'My Problem With Women', which will follow the adventures of thirty-something bachelor Jose, who consults a therapist to help him figure out why his romances fail.

The sitcom, which has received a script commitment from NBC, is based on the hit Peruvian series 'Mi Problema Con Las Mujeres', which began in July and has already been sold to 20 countries.

The 27-year-old is said to have joined the project after being approached by Reveille, the production company behind the US adaptations of foreign-scripted shows including 'The Office' and 'Ugly Betty'.
