Starz Develops 'Bone Parish' TV Series With Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson Attached

The greenlight into development underscores Starz’s push to build wholly owned, genre-driven franchises through a deeper partnership with Jackson’s G-Unit.

Overview

  • Starz announced development of a television adaptation of the BOOM! Studios graphic novel Bone Parish on June 30, 2026, naming Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as an executive producer and Diane Ademu-John and Declan de Barra as co-showrunners.
  • The series centers on a New Orleans crime family that traffics a supernatural drug made from the ashes of the dead that gives users vivid visions of the past, a premise described in the official project synopsis.
  • BOOM! Studios is participating in the adaptation and has tapped executives Stephen Christy and Mette Norkjaer to serve as executive producers for the TV project.
  • Starz has not announced a series order, cast, production start date, or premiere schedule, so development-stage attachments are the only confirmed milestones to date.
  • The project extends Starz’s ongoing partnership with Jackson and follows other network collaborations such as the Power franchise and the upcoming Fightland series, marking a strategic bet on building franchise-capable, genre content and signaling that the next steps to watch are casting and a formal series order.
