BET is launching a new docuseries – ‘On Tour With.’
The hourlong docuseries will premiere Wednesday on BET at 10 p.m. ET. with Meek Mill kicking the series off. The series will give viewers an all-access pass as they watch top artists and their entourages navigate the ups and downs that come with preparing and launching a major live show or world tour. On Tour With was created and developed by Erving and Maverick partner Shawn Gee. Gee, also president of Live Nation Urban, is an executive producer of the show along with eOne Films.
The Meek Mill episode center on his high-stakes homecoming show at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center and the attempt to sell it out for a second time. Beyond that, notes Erving, was the opportunity to show another side of Mill — which is at the heart of what On Tour With hopes to accomplish with each episode.
“This isn’t about just picking the biggest artists to profile,” explains Erving. “We’re looking for artists with a compelling story and interesting characters around them. Meek’s Dreamchasers are very interesting in the way they support and rock with each other like a family. We want the audience to fall in love with and root for those characters as well, not just the lead artist. That’s the goal.”
