BBC Three commissioning new drama series based on DJ Target's Grime Kids book

BBC have commissioned a new drama series being produced by Mammoth Screen that's inspired by DJ Target's Grime Kids book.

The BBC 1Xtra and Radio 1 DJ announced the news on Instagram, writing, "The TV Drama series based on my book #Grimekids will be coming to your TV screens in 2022."

DJ Target added, "I wrote this book to celebrate and document the journey of UK music over the last 20 plus years. I’ve been lucky enough to be there first hand to witness the growth and evolution since I first heard Jungle as a school kid, then Garage, Grime, all the way to the present day. I NEVER expected it to be picked up by one of the biggest TV production companies Mammoth Screen and now to be commissioned by BBC Three [and] BBC iPlayer - i'm an Executive Producer on a actual TV Drama, this is nuts!"

He also revealed that the series is being written by Theresa Ikoko, who was nominated for three BAFTAs this year for Rocks.
