From Deadline
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s novel The Accomplice is being turned into a television series.
Peacock is developing a series adaptation of the book, which Jackson wrote with Aaron Philip Clark and was published last month.
Empire and Hidden Figures star Taraji. P. Henson is attached to lead the drama project. She is set to play Nia Adams, a fearless Texas Ranger on the trail of master thief Desmond Bell, whose latest target is one of America’s wealthiest families. As Adams closes in, she uncovers a conspiracy so explosive it forces her to choose between exposing the truth and protecting the very system she swore to serve.
The project comes from UCP with Jackson’s G-Unit Films and Television, and Henson’s TPH Entertainment also producing. Jackson and Henson also serve as non-writing exec producers. There is no writer attached to the project yet.
