Starz Orders Eight Episodes of 50 Cent-Excutive Produced Series, ‘Fightland’
Written by djfrosty on June 13, 2025
Despite having a very rocky relationship with Starz, 50 Cent continues to land original programming with the network.
Starz announced it has greenlit a new original show called Fightland, which the cable network describes as a “high-octane scripted drama set in the cutthroat, high-stakes, cash-rich world of British boxing.”
Fightland also marks another collaboration between Starz and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson through his G-Unit Film & Television, who serves as an executive producer on the show.
Starz has ordered eight episodes of the show with production set to begin in London this fall.
“Fightland” follows a disgraced, formerly incarcerated boxing champion who returns to London to seek vengeance against the crime family he thinks betrayed him. With edge-of-seat action and populated by dangerous characters, this is a world of money and power never seen before.
50 Cent Anticipates Fightland Being More Popular Than Anything He’s Done Before
“Fightland marks my first internationally produced show through my G-Unit Film & Television. I am excited to bring that global energy to the screen,” said Executive Producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. “I anticipate this to be more successful than anything I’ve done before—boxing’s raw stakes are gonna take it to another level.”
“Set against the backdrop of the British boxing underground, this series promises to be the perfect combination of character and adrenaline,” said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming for STARZ. “‘ Fightland’ is the kind of unapologetically visceral, premium storytelling that STARZ is known for, and we believe that each dramatic round of this compelling drama will leave fans wanting more.”
50 Cent saying he expects Fightland to be more successful than anything he’s done before demonstrates the confidence he has in this show.
Power, the first Starz series he was a part of, created by Courtney A. Kemp, is currently one of Starz’s most popular original series ever.
He also has BMF, which is currently in its 4th season, and is also popular among television viewers.
However, there is also tension between the Queens rapper and the network, which often seems to reach a boiling point, with the “In Da Club” rapper threatening to pull his shows off the channel.
We shall see if that remains the case when Fightland arrives.
