Ice Cube, who wrote or co-wrote screenplays for New Line's three big-screen “Friday” comedies as well as “The Player’s Club,” will write and produce a cop series for NBC.

The former Niggaz with Attitude vocalist (he rapped on the NWA hit "Fuck Tha Police") and "Are We Done Yet?" star may or may not appear in any pilot or series that emerges from his efforts.

"As we continue to expand our roster of diverse talent both on-camera and behind the camera, a guy like Ice Cube, who’s multitalented, is someone we really wanted to be in business with," NBC co-chair Ben Silverman said. "He’s had an amazing career, to have gone from NWA to this."

Under Silverman’s leadership, NBC has over the last year shepherded “American Gladiators,” “Phenomenon,” “Celebrity Apprentice,” “America’s Toughest Jobs,” “My Own Worst Enemy,” “Crusoe,” “Kath & Kim” and “Knight Rider” to the small screen.

For almost a decade, NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" has starred Cube's fellow rapper and "Trespass" co-star Ice-T as detective Odafin Tutuola.
