85 South and MTV Wild ‘n’ Out star DC Young Fly has been added to the cast of New Line’s reimagining of the 1990 cult comedy House Party, produced by LeBron James and Maverick Carter of The SpringHill Company.
He’s joining Jorge Lendeborg Jr. and Tosin Cole in the film, which will be seeing the directorial debut of Calmatic. Emmy-nominated Atlanta writers Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori will be preparing the script.
Reginald Hudlin, who wrote and directed the original film starring hip hop duo Kid ‘n Play, will serve as executive producer alongside Warrington Hudlin as well as Spencer Beighley and Jamal Henderson for SpringHill. Richard Brener, Josh Mack, and Victoria Palmeri will oversee production for the studio.
Starting out as social media personality only to become a TV/film and stand-up comedy star, DC recently played musician Sly Stone on season two of BET’s American Soul. Other credits include How High 2 for MTV, Universal’s Almost Christmas, FOX’s comedy series REL, and Grown-ish on Freeform.
