50 Cent Signs New Broadcast Deal with FOX
Lets just call 50 Cent the King of TV at this point. After dominating over at STARZ with his POWER Universe followed by the BMF series, he’s taking his talents elsewhere. It’s no secret 50 has had his issues with the STARZ network. Last year he announced he’d be leaving STARZ after his deal expired, but will stay on as an executive producer of his existing shows. Now, he announced a new deal with FOX to develop scripted dramas, action comedies and animated series with his G-Unit Film & Television production company.
‘I am excited to formalize a partnership with Michael Thorn and Fox that will allow G-Unit Film & Television to focus on putting multiple series on Fox, a perfect broadcast destination for G-Unit Film & Television content while our premium, streaming, scripted and non-scripted slates continue to grow in all directions.’ -50 Cent
Fox Entertainment President of Scripted Programming, Michael Thorn had this to say about the deal:
‘Whether it’s music, film or television, Curtis always delivers premium entertainment that captivates millions of fans across the globe. He is the rare multi-hyphenate with a deft hand at storytelling, no matter the format or medium, and we’re looking forward to developing new and exciting series for Fox with him and his team.’
