Overview
- News outlets reported Tuesday that Hulu greenlit an untitled three-part series on Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson after a bidding contest with Starz, Netflix and Apple.
- The series is produced by IPC and G-Unit Film & Television, directed by Mandon Lovett, with Patrick Altema as showrunner and executive producers 50 Cent, Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman.
- Press materials describe an intimate portrait that follows Jackson from Queens through his recovery after being shot nine times to success in music, television and business.
- The project has no official title or release date, and Jackson will also serve as an executive producer.
- Jackson teased a $75 million Hulu deal in an April 1 post that read like a prank, then celebrated the pickup on Instagram, as Hulu builds a slate that includes recent docs on Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen.
