The Oscar winner, 48, is an executive producer on "White Famous", a half-hour comedy based on an original idea from Foxx, reported Contactmusic.
The story centres on a young black comedian as he struggles with his rise to stardom.
"I came up from stand-up comedy, so to be able to share that aspect of my life on screen with a project like White Famous is incredibly exciting," Foxx said in a statement.
If picked up to series, Foxx will have a recurring role on the show.
The actor, who began his career as a stand-up comedian, hasn't been a regular on the small screen since his hit "The Jamie Foxx Show" ended its five season run in 2001. He was also a regular on cult 1990s sketch comedy show "In Living Color".
