Curtis Jackson, better known as “50 Cent”, has experienced success in every endeavor he’s pursued. His first album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, celebrated its 20th anniversary in February 2023–and from his debut, the multi-award winning artist has undoubtedly conquered the recording industry.

The next chapter of 50 Cent’s career is shaping up to be another empire!

50 Cent has also set his eyes on building an entertainment empire. In 2003, he established G Unit Films and Television, his own film and television production company. Now acting as Executive Producer, 50 Cent continues his two-decade-long streak of catching Ws with the wild success of his television catalog. Check out the shows he’s produced, exclusively streaming on Lionsgate Play, powered by PLDT Home!

Power is the TV series that 50 Cent’s TV empire was built on. Spanning six seasons and creating enough buzz to generate three spin-off series, Power was proof that if 50 Cent is involved, success is just around the corner. The crime drama revolves around James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), a ruthless drug dealer known by his alias “Ghost”. St. Patrick is attempting to leave his life of crime behind to pursue a more legitimate business, only to find that leaving the underworld is easier said than done. 50 Cent also shows off his acting chops in this series, playing Kanan Stark, St. Patrick’s friend-turned-rival. Stream all six seasons of Power on Lionsgate Play, powered by PLDT Home.

With a fictional universe as interesting and engaging as Power’s, it wasn’t a surprise that its fandom didn’t want to leave it just yet despite Power finishing its final season. With Power Book II: Ghost, the St. Patrick legacy continues with Tariq (Michael Rainey, Jr.), James St. Patrick’s son. Tariq finds that balancing an everyday life with some crime on the side comes with numerous obstacles. Check out the first two seasons of Power Book II: Ghost, exclusively on Lionsgate Play.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan

Set in the 1990’s, Power Book III: Raising Kanan is the second spin-off series of the Power universe and acts as a prequel to the events of the original. The series follows Kanan Stark–the character played by 50 Cent in the original Power series–and the events that led to Kanan entering the drug world. Check out the first two seasons of Power Book III: Raising Kanan on Lionsgate Play.

Black Mafia Family

If you’re starting to think that 50 Cent’s television catalog is just all Power, then you’re sorely mistaken. In 2021, G-Unit introduced Black Mafia Family–and the show was renewed for a third season after its first two seasons were a huge success. Inspired by the true events that gave rise to one of the most influential crime families in America, watch as the Flenory brothers’ rose in the criminal underworld and stream the first season of Black Mafia Family on Lionsgate Play.

Power Book IV: Force

Power Book IV: Force is the third spin-off series of the Power universe, and–possibly–not the last. The show follows Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) and his journey from New York to California to start afresh. Unlike the St. Jameses, though, Tommy’s not exactly done with the underworld just yet. Watch the first season of Power Book IV: Force: an exclusive on Lionsgate Play.
