Lizzo is set to star as Sister Rosetta Tharpe in Amazon MGM Studios’ Rosetta, Deadline reports.

She is also producing alongside Kevin Beisler, Significant Productions’ Nina Yang Bongiovi and Forest Whitaker.

Natalie Chaidez (The Flight Attendant, Queen of the South) and Kwynn Perry (Tigerbelles, The Burned Photo) are writing the screenplay.

“The film will capture a pivotal period in Tharpe’s life—one of groundbreaking innovation, defiant passion, and secret love. As she shatters musical boundaries with her signature guitar sound, she must navigate societal constraints, conceal her love for another woman, and ultimately transform a wedding into one of the most legendary concerts in history—the first stadium show.”
