50 Cent is teaming up with La La Anthony for a new Starz series. Deadline reports the show is called Intercepted based on the novel by Alexa Martin.
The book follows Marlee Harper who was an NFL girlfriend and tried to get back on her feet after suddenly becoming single. La La will play Marlee which should be second nature to her because she’s an NBA wife to Carmelo Anthony since 2010.
The show falls under 50 Cent’s four-year development deal with Starz which was rumored to be worth $150 million. The mogul is also producing The Black Mafia Family and Vanguard under his G-Unit banner.
“When I sat down with [Starz CEO Chris Albrecht] and walked him through my plans for G-Unit Film & Television going forward, he let me know I was essentially requesting the biggest deal in premium cable history,” Jackson said at the time. “We will continue our proven track record of breaking records and delivering unique content for audiences around the world. Get the strap.”
