Former NBA All-Star Chris Webber will be looking back on his time at Michigan in a new series.

Webber is developing a limited scripted series called "Fab Five" about Michigan's infamous squad of the early 1990s, according to Rick Porter of the Hollywood Reporter. The group, which included Webber, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson, Jimmy King, and Jalen Rose, is considered one of the greatest recruiting classes of all time.

"What I think is different about it is I've never spoken about my time with the Fab Five," Webber told Porter. "There's a lot of behind the scenes that not many people know about, and it's about so many things. Hopefully I'll be able to express those things, whether it's about Detroit or the work ethic of the city and the factories - all those things that made us."

The series will be based on Webber's upcoming autobiography, "By God's Grace." Howard - now the head coach of Michigan's men's basketball team - and Jackson will serve as consultants on the project.
