There have been rumors of Apple introducing original programs swirling for some time now. Today, The Hollywood Reporter learned that it’s just about ready to take that step with and Beats co-founder and rapper, Dr. Dre, is kicking it off.

Dr. Dre is said to be involved with a new show called Vital Signs, in which he will appear and executive produce. The series will reportedly span six episodes, and will serve as a dramatic semi-autobiographical piece, with each episode focusing on a specific emotion and how the lead character, Dre, deals with it. The report also notes that other actors, like Sam Rockwell and Mo McCrae, have been added to the cast. Director Paul Hunter, who previously worked on a variety of music videos, is reportedly helming the project.

Neither Dre nor Apple would provide any official comment on the project, but it’s likely that the company may be saving the original programming news for its next presentation. Original programming is a move that makes sense, especially considering how popular the likes of Hulu and Netflix have become by focusing on more original TV shows and movies.

Now the only question is what service Vital Signs would benefit the most from. Apple’s new line of TV devices, which hit shelves just months ago, would obviously see a boost from broadcasting original content in HD, although desktop, laptop and mobile owners of Apple tech could also benefit from downloading it. It could also be tied in with Apple’s Music service, something that Dre has a good amount of involvement in when it comes to DJ lists and artist highlights.

While Vital Signs is the currently the only project being discussed, Apple’s programming could easily diversify this in the future. Considering Dr. Dre’s contribution to last summer’s blockbuster hit Straight Outta Compton, which drew in over $200 million worldwide, he could play a huge part in helping get new programs off the ground.

For now, fans will just have to keep an eye open for the official Signs.
