50 Cent is getting a Roku Channel.
Spotted on Deadline, Curtis Jackson and his G-Unit Film & Television imprint, in partnership with Lionsgate, are launching the 50 Cent Action Channel on the Roku Channel on Tuesday, December 10.
According to the website, the channel will be curated by the Grammy-winning and Emmy-winning multihyphenate. It will feature his favorite action films from Lionsgate’s library, which features over 20,000 titles. So expect to see films like The Expendables, Rambo, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and over a dozen movies Diddy’s favorite troll starred in.
But that’s not all. The channel will also air reruns of Power, the Starz crime drama he also starred in and served as an executive producer for the many spinoffs that followed.
There will also be programming stunts around the Queen’s rapper’s No. 1 albums and hit records.
Per Deadline:
Examples include a heist-themed stunt tied to his album Get Rich or Die Tryin’, including films like Empire State, Reservoir Dogs, and Man on a Ledge as well as a female-led action stunt based on 50’s album I Like The Way She Do It, including Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2, The Protégé and Haywire.
In a statement about the channel, 50 Cent said, “Roku’s reach and success in the free TV space make them the perfect launch partner for 50 Cent Action. My channel created in partnership with Lionsgate will deliver exactly what my audience loves to watch all in one place. We’ll be number one in no time.”
