The scripted series that stars internet sensation Skye Townsend (daughter of film director Robert Townsend) and actor/rapper Justin IROC Williams (the nephew to gospel duo Mary Mary) is based on the critically acclaimed teen book series The Come Up, by New York Times bestselling author Lyah Beth LeFlore. Eight Days A Week will delve into the sexy and exciting lives of six diverse 20-something hopefuls navigating the perks and pitfalls of life in the fast lane.
