EXCLUSIVE: Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (“Power” & “BMF” franchises) is developing a new true crime series for A&E, in a teaming between his G-Unit Film & Television and Jonah Bekhor and Jonas Bell Pasht’s Citizen Jones.
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 at a future date.
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‘s 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, to name a few.
Jackson’s prodco is also behind the hit “Power” franchise at Starz, which has spawned four spinoffs that followed the mothership series Power, including 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 currently 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.
Jackson is represented by IAG and attorney Stephen J Savv.
