The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman has teamed with production company Catapult 360 to work on the HBO project, tentatively named Scar Tissue.
The series will centre on Kiedis's relationship with his father Spider, who allegedly sold drugs and mingled with the stars of the rock era while aspiring to greatness.
"He introduced me to the arts, to a more culturally magnificent life. But some of it was this heavy, adult matter that I wasn't quite capable of digesting. It was a very rich but kind of challenging period of my life. I was thrust into this adult mentality by age 11," Kiedis said.
The frontman was approached after Catapult's Michael Benson and Marc Abrams read his autobiography, also called Scar Tissue. "To be able to look at a very famous figure and get an origin story, to see the pieces of the puzzle that put him on the path to fame - it became very clear that this was a special project," Abrams said.
Kiedis apparently plans to be heavily involved in the series and is even considering narrating the show.
