Miniseries

A three-part miniseries, `The New Edition Story' follows the R&B/pop group from their humble beginnings as kids in Boston to global mega-stardom - weathering the highs and lows of controversy, personnel changes, and the ultimate cost of fame. In 1978, 11-year-old Bobby Brown convinces friends Ricky Bell, Mike Bivins and Ralph Tresvant to perform in local talent shows. The boys are discovered soon after, sign a record deal, and produce their first No. 1 hit, `Candy Girl'. Years later, tension within the group forces dramatic changes - Bobby Brown is kicked out - and New Edition is never the same.
