50 Cent has continued with his takeover of television and film, as the artist and TV showrunner recently entered a non-exclusive broadcast direct deal with Fox.
The deal will allow 50 and his G-Unit Film and Television to develop live-action comedies, animated series, and scripted dramas. The announcement was made by Fox’s president of scripted programming, Michael Thorn:
“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.”
Reports noted projects made by G-Unit Film & Television under the deal will be owned by Fox Entertainment and produced by Fox Entertainment Studios in collaboration with 50’s company.
