Ricky Martin may be saying goodbye to Broadway, but he’s got a lot cooking: a TV series and a children’s book.

The Livin’ La Vida Loca singer is developing a new series for NBC, expected in 2013. He’s producing, writing and will star in the currently untitled dramedy, where he hopes to tackle social issues. “It’s about growing,” The Voice (Australia) judge told The AP. “It’s a moment in my life where I just need to absorb and be surrounded by amazing actors and musicians and grow as an entertainer.”

Martin, who sold his Miami Beach mansion last April but still spends quality time here, didn’t have to look far for inspiration for his second book. “I think it’s time to write about things that I’ve been through with my kids that I’m sure many daddies out there will understand,” said the father of twins Matteo and Valentino, 4. He leaves Evita Jan. 26.
