    New Edition is coming to a television near you and it’s way sooner than you think!

    The iconic music group has secured a deal with BET and New Edition members Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant have all signed on as co-producers for the film that is being developed into a three-night miniseries premiering on the cable network in 2016.
