Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson has boarded a TV series adaptation of the “Payday” video game franchise. No writer, network or streamer is currently attached to the show.
Vice Studios and developer Starbreeze Entertainment are producing the show while Jackson will executive produce via his G-Unit Film & Television label.
The game follows masked protagonists who have proven that no score is too audacious, no enemy too powerful, and no fortune enough to stop their criminal ambitions.
The stories blend high-octane action in exciting heist locations and blends of betrayal, conspiracy, and corruption. Jackson says in a statement:
“G-Unit Film & TV has built cinematic crime stories that connect with audiences around the world. Teaming up with Vice Studios and bringing the world of ‘Payday’ to the screen gives us the chance to build something big, a high-energy franchise that pushes the heist genre forward.”
Jackson is best known for executive producing the “Power” franchise.
