Starz has officially given the green light to a new drama series from 50 Cent. 

Multiple outlets confirm that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has teamed with the premium cabler again on a new series titled Black Mafia Family. The drama is being developed under the overall deal at Starz for 50 Cents’ G-Unit Film and Television banner.

“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,” said Jeffrey Hirsch, President and CEO of Starz. “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.”

Black Mafia Family joins Curtis’ currently airing ABC show For Life.
