50 Cent to Develop Unscripted Tattoo Transformation Series ‘Redemption Ink’
Written by SOURCE on April 22, 2023
50 Cent is planning to expand his multimedia empire to include reality television with the addition of a new tattoo series on Hulu.
According to Deadline, the G-Unit boss has a new unscripted tattoo transformation series titled Redemption Ink in early development. The series will be on Hulu, and follows ex-gang and hate group members attempting to seek redemption through tattoos. The individuals will cover up the gang-affiliated tattoos that constantly remind them of their past and share their stories with the talented artists handling the ink.
50 Cent will be an executive producer through his G-Unit Film & Television company. SallyAnn Salsano of 495 Productions will also serve as an executive producer, while Luis Gutierrez will work on the show as a producer.
Redemption Ink is the latest show born out of 50 Cent’s G-Unit Film & Television banner. The company has produced several programs across several platforms, including 50’s hit Starz series Power which he executive produced, directed and starred in.
G-Unit Film & Television is on a roll with the Power Universe (Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanaan and Power Book IV: Force) and BMF. If that weren’t enough, 50 also announced three BMF spinoffs and the British boxing drama Fightland.
In February, 50 Cent signed a new deal with Fox following the end of his contract with STARZ. The partnership is a non-exclusive multiyear broadcast direct deal with Fox, which will have the 47-year-old develop scripted dramas, comedies, and animated series that would air on the network.
“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,” 50 said in a statement.
