50 Cent announces non-exclusive broadcast direct deal with Fox

Outside of being an iconic music figure, 50 Cent has also been dominating in the field of television, over the past nine years. He’s brought plenty of hit series to STARZ, such as “Power,” in 2014, its many spinoffs, as well as “BMF.” BMF aired in October 2021, and went on to premiere season 2, this past January.

However, 50’s moves in television aren’t done, at all. In October, he signed a three-project partnership deal with Lusid Media. At the time, plans were announced for an unscripted true crime series, coming in 2023.

As a result, 50 is also now making additional partnerships with other networks, as well. According to Variety, he has signed a non-exclusive broadcast direct deal with Fox. This is in order to develop scripted dramas, live-action comedies and animated series. This deal was completed through 50’s production company G-Unit Film & Television and Michael Thorn, who is Fox Entertainment’s president of scripted programming.

“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,” said 50, in a statement.

Recently, 50 also announced plans for a spinoff of BMF. The next episode of season 2 is coming on February 17 at midnight, after a week hiatus. Season 3 was also renewed, last month.
