50 Cent to Host, Produce True-Crime Series '50 Ways to Catch a Killer' for Fox Nation
Six-part series from G-Unit Film & Television and Lionsgate Alternative Television will stream exclusively on Fox Nation beginning Sept. 16
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson will host and executive produce a new true-crime series titled "50 Ways to Catch a Killer," which will stream exclusively on Fox Nation beginning Sept. 16, the network announced.
The six-part series follows investigators as they pursue breakthroughs in homicide cases and chronicles the investigative work law-enforcement officials undertake to seek justice. Episodes will debut weekly after the Sept. 16 premiere.
Production on the series was handled by Jackson’s G-Unit Film & Television and Lionsgate Alternative Television in partnership with Fox Nation. Jason Klarman, Fox News Media’s chief digital and marketing officer, said in a statement, "We are thrilled to partner with Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson to bring his distinctive voice and perspective to this gripping investigative series."
Fox Nation described the program as an inside look at "gripping murder mysteries" that highlights the journey of law enforcement as they chase leads and technological or procedural breakthroughs that could lead to justice for victims and families. The series marks a further expansion of Fox Nation’s slate of true-crime programming and underscores the streamer’s continuing investment in investigator-led specials and documentary series.
Jackson, known primarily for his career as a rapper and for roles in film and television, has increasingly moved into television production through his company G-Unit Film & Television. The new show follows other recent Fox Nation releases; the network on Thursday added the special "Ibogaine: The Fight of a Lifetime" to its roster, reflecting a broader interest in investigative and treatment-focused documentaries.
Fox Nation, a subscription streaming service tied to Fox News Media, has increasingly featured personalities from outside traditional news reporting to anchor documentary and true-crime projects. The network did not disclose exact episode runtimes or subject cases in its initial announcement; further details about individual episodes and the specific cases to be covered are expected ahead of the Sept. 16 launch.
Fox Nation said episodes will be made available on the streamer on a weekly schedule. Additional information, including trailers, episode descriptions and viewing guides, will be posted on Fox Nation’s platform prior to the premiere.
