Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson Developing True-Crime Series

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Power & BMF franchises) is developing a new true-crime series for A&E, in a collaboration between his G-Unit Film & Television and Jonah Bekhor and Jonas Bell Pasht’s Citizen Jones.

The project, titled "Gang Wars" (working title), is a raw, unfiltered true-crime series that rips open America’s most infamous gang rivalries with unprecedented access and never-before-heard accounts — exposing the street battles, betrayals and power plays that built our modern criminal world.

Although the gang rivalries they plan to feature have not been revealed, there is a variety to choose from.

Further details will be announced later. If the project is ordered to series, it would become one of the many unscripted titles from G-Unit and Citizen Jones.

From G-Unit, recent projects include "The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast" second season, premiering on January 16 via Starz; Netflix’s "Sean Combs: The Reckoning", from director and EP Alexandria Stapleton; "TikTok Star Murders" and "The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets" for Peacock; and "Hip Hop Homicides" for WE TV.

Jackson’s prodco is also behind the hit "Power" franchise at Starz, which has spawned four spinoffs that followed the mothership series: "Power Book II: Ghost," the prequel "Power Book III: Raising Kanan," and "Power Book IV: Force". The fourth is the latest prequel, "Power: Origins," which follows the events of the upcoming fifth and final season of "Raising Kanan" and is in production in New York/New Jersey.

Additionally, he executive produced the crime drama Black Mafia Family, which recently concluded its fourth and final season.

Citizen Jones is behind "How to Become a Cult Leader," "How to Become a Mob Boss," and "How To Become a Tyrant" for Netflix; "The Rocky Mountain Mortician Murder" for Investigation Discovery, about the murder of Byron Griffy; and "Blood & Myth" for Hulu, about the Alaskan actor Iñupiaq, who becomes a fugitive after a series of violent crimes.
