Harry Styles will executive-produce a new sitcom based on his life while he was in One Direction.

The CBS show, titled Happy Together, will star Damon Wayans Jr and Amber Stevens West as a married couple – whose lives are disrupted when a young pop star (Felix Mallard) moves in with them.

The story is based on the time Harry lived with director Ben Winston and his wife in London during the early stages of One Direction’s success.

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine last year, Ben revealed that the singer was supposed to stay with them for two weeks while there was work being done on a house he liked nearby – but those two weeks turned into 20 months.

“Two weeks later and he hadn’t bought his house yet. It wasn’t going through. Then he said, ‘I’m going to stay until Christmas, if you don’t mind.’ Then Christmas came, and…,” he said.

“Those 20 months were when they went from being on a reality show, X Factor, to being the biggest-selling artists in the world. That period of time, he was living with us in the most mundane suburban situation.

“No one ever found out, really. Even when we went out for a meal, it’s such a sweet family neighbourhood, no one dreamed it was actually him. But he made our house a home. And when he moved out, we were gutted,” he added.

Ben, who produces The Late Late Show with James Corden, will also executive produce Happy Together, which is set to air this autumn.
