MTV Picks Up Pitbull’s Miami Family Drama, “305”

As reported by PitbullUpdates last year, Pitbull will be adding, ‘producer,’ to his resume as he teams up with Endemol Shine Studios to produce an upcoming Miami-set drama, “305”.

The tv-show, which is named after Miami’s area code, is a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air–esque family drama about a teen named Willy who is pulled from his rundown high-school and sent to live with his uncle, a celebrity chef, and attend the wealthiest private school in Miami. He attempts to acclimate himself to his new surroundings while dealing with relationships, family drama, work, and all the problems that more money bring.

“305,” was originally set to air on FOX, but the network ended up not taking it, which gave MTV the opportunity to pick up the drama.

“The way I look at it is, the deal we do have with FOX and Endemol is New Year’s Eve. As far as, “305,” like a true entrepreneur, things shift. FOX was interested, but didn’t take it, but MTV took it. So it just goes to show you, things happen for a reason,” said Pitbull earlier this week on CNBC’s, “Power Lunch”.

Other names working on, “305,” include script-writer, Sacha Penn, director, Jonathon Levine, and co-producer, David Ortiz.

Pitbull to Produce Miami Family Drama on FOX


Mr. Worldwide will soon be able to add producer to his resume as he and Endemol Shine Studios bring a Miami-set drama to FOX!

The drama will be called 305, named after Miami’s area code, and the script will be written by Sacha Penn, who has also written Survior’s Remorse, and directed by Jonathon Levine, who’s work includes directing Warm Bodies. And of course, Mr. 305 will be a executive producer along with Penn, Levine and David Ortiz.

Armando is continuing his deal with FOX and his own production company, Honey I’m Home to produce 305 and continue to host his own New Year’s Eve show, Pitbull’s New Year’s Revolution.

In 305, when Willy is pulled from his rundown high school and sent to live with his uncle, a celebrity chef, and attend the wealthiest private school in Miami, he attempts to acclimate himself to his new surroundings while dealing with relationships, family drama, work, and all the problems that more money bring.

There is no word on when the show will begin filming, but most likely, it’ll be within the next year.
