Hulu Orders Three-Part 50 Cent Docuseries

The pickup underscores Hulu's drive for marquee music documentaries.

Overview

  • Hulu, which greenlit the project Tuesday, secured the untitled series after reported interest from Starz, Netflix and Apple.
  • The doc is directed by Mandon Lovett with Patrick Altema as showrunner, produced by IPC and G‑Unit Film & Television, with executive producers including Curtis Jackson, Lovett, Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman.
  • Across three parts, the series charts Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s path from Queens to global influence in music, business and film, with producers promising an intimate, revealing look.
  • Jackson will also serve as an executive producer and he welcomed the news on Instagram, while his April 1 post suggesting a $75 million deal remains unverified.
  • No title or release date has been announced, and the project joins Hulu’s growing slate of music-focused documentaries such as recent Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen titles.
