Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson teams up with STARZ once again for an eight-episode knockout set in London’s brutal and money-soaked boxing underworld.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is lacing up for another hit—this time in the ring.
STARZ has officially greenlit “Fightland,” a new eight-episode drama series produced by Jackson and set in the cutthroat world of underground British boxing. Described as a story packed with redemption, betrayal, and brutal ambition, the series follows a disgraced ex-champion fresh out of prison, returning to London with revenge in his heart—and fists.
“Fightland” will mark the first internationally produced show from Jackson’s G-Unit Film & Television, and production is set to begin this fall in London.
“Fightland marks my first internationally produced show through G-Unit Film & Television. I am excited to bring that global energy to the screen,” Jackson said. “I anticipate this to be more successful than anything I’ve done before—boxing’s raw stakes are gonna take it to another level.“
Jackson is no stranger to TV drama success, having already built an empire at STARZ with hits like the “Power” franchise and “BMF.” This new venture dives into a cash-rich, high-stakes world where fists fly, loyalties crumble, and power comes with a price.
According to STARZ’s official logline, the show follows a fallen fighter seeking vengeance against the crime family he believes betrayed him. Set against the backdrop of London’s underworld, “Fightland” promises edge-of-your-seat action and a cast of dangerous, power-hungry characters.
The series is being written and showrun by Damione Macedon and Raphael Jackson Jr., both of whom are STARZ veterans known for their work on “Power,” “BMF,” and “Genius: MLK/X.” Additional executive producers include Francis Hopkinson and Kate Leadbetter of Expanded Media, along with writers Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan and Marlon Smith.
“Set against the backdrop of the British boxing underground, this series promises to be the perfect combination of character and adrenaline,” said Kathryn Busby, STARZ’s president of original programming. “Fightland is the kind of unapologetically visceral, premium storytelling that STARZ is known for.”
“Fightland” also marks a major play for STARZ following its recent spin-off from Lionsgate. The network is now doubling down on building a slate of original IPs—and this gritty boxing saga could land a major punch.
With 50 Cent in the producer’s corner, British boxing fans and STARZ subscribers alike can expect fireworks when “Fightland” hits the screen.
