Starz has given the green light to the Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson led series, Black Mafia Family. The series has been in development at the network since 2016 and will now be made into a series once the network opens up production again.
“This is a project Curtis has always been incredibly passionate about and we are excited to have him as our partner in bringing it to life,” Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch said.
“’Black Mafia Family’ has all the hallmarks of a great drama, from the larger-than-life Flenory brothers to the deadly, high-stakes world they inhabited. This series is going to be an incredible ride for audiences around the world,” he added.
Jackson will produce the series alongside Randy Higgins of Power. Black Mafia Family is the latest series in Jackson’s vault. He is currently working with Starz to produce four spin-offs of his hit series, Power. The first spin-off, Power Book II: Ghost, has already begun production. It is expected to debut in 2021. For now, there is no word on when Black Mafia Family will debut.
