Nicki Minaj is reportedly set to start in and executive produce a new animated series called Lady Danger. Co-produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Brian Sher, Paul Young and Mike Griffin, the series will air on the free, ad-supported streaming service, Amazon Freevee.
“The series—set in the year 2075—follows a government field agent who is left for dead by her team after discovering a dangerous secret, only to be resurrected as Lady Danger, an afrofuturistic ass-kicking Agent of B.O.O.T.I (Bureau of Organized Terrorism Intervention), who must conceal her true identity while she fights villains who are destroying the earth and its vulnerable inhabitants,” the series description reads, according to Deadline.
