HBO Plans Series on Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Anthony Kiedis

HBO is planning a series based on Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Anthony Kiedis' growing up in West Hollywood.

The series is tentatively titled "Spider and Son" and will focus on Kiedis' relationship with his father who sold drugs and mingled with rock stars on the Sunset Strip, all while aspiring to get into show business.

This will probably be half "Entourage", half "Kids".

Here's the info from WeHo.com:

HBO announced that Independent writer/director John Sayles will write a series treatment of Red Hot Chili Pepper’s singer Anthony Kiedis’ autobiography about his West Hollywood youth, “Scar Tissue.”
