The project remains in early development without a writer or series order.

Overview

  • Taraji P. Henson is attached to play Nia Adams, a Texas Ranger pursuing master thief Desmond Bell, according to the official logline.
  • UCP will produce alongside Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s G-Unit Films & Television and Henson’s TPH Entertainment, with both Jackson and Henson as executive producers.
  • The series draws from The Accomplice by Jackson and Aaron Phillip Clark, with reports differing on whether the novel was published in 2024 or more recently.
  • Peacock has the adaptation in development with no writer currently attached and no greenlight announced.
  • The announcement arrives as Jackson expands his TV slate across Starz, Hulu and Netflix, and as Henson maintains an active slate including recent work at Peacock and a new first-look deal at Fox Entertainment.
