Aaron Carter had been working on a sitcom prior to his death.
The saddening news of the death of the former teen heartthrob, Aaron Carter, has made headlines and caused deep sorrow not only to his family but fans who were rooting for him. Earlier this year, Carter in August told Daily Mail that he had been rebuilding himself by getting "on the tracks and keep[ing] going," despite many still painting him as a drug addict after five years of sobriety.
The sitcom centered on group therapy and advocates for mental health, a premise that was near and dear to Carter's heart. Group's pilot writer and director, Brian Farmer, confirmed via TMZ that the former Disney Channel star had finished filming the show's pilot episode. He also referred to Carter as a warm-hearted soul who was a genuine joy to work with and was eager to play a fictionalized version of himself in a series that tackles mental health advocacy.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "Aaron was so excited about the show and helping raise awareness for mental health, a topic he was very passionate about. He said being a part of the show gave him something positive to work toward, and I’ll forever cherish that. He was such a kind soul and a pleasure to work with, and he will be dearly missed by everyone who was a part of Group and countless others. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
Having gained the blessing of Carter's management, the film producers plan to complete the show, which will be a tribute to Carter's memory. Olive Chiacchia, who portrayed Carter's love interest in the comedy sitcom, posted images from the set on Instagram, explaining that his death wasn't the reason why she wanted to post the photos. "I was waiting until the release of the pilot.
