Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is partnering with Fox Nation for a true crime series spotlighting homicide cases and the detective work that cracked them.
The six-part series titled 50 Ways to Catch a Killer launches Monday, Sept. 16 on Fox Nation, the streaming arm of Fox News. 50 Cent will host and executive produce.
Each week features two new episodes, giving viewers an intimate look at how law enforcement tracks down suspects and builds cases.
50 Cent announced the project Thursday, Sept. 4 on Instagram, writing: “Do you believe me when I say I’m working, because I’m really getting busy.”
He added in a statement, “True crime is powerful because it’s real cases, real people, and real justice. With this series, I want viewers to experience the intensity of these investigations and the relentless work it takes to uncover the truth. We’re bringing these stories to life in a way that’s both gripping and authentic.”
Fox News Media’s Chief Digital and Marketing Officer Jason Klarman hyped the project, saying 50 Cent “offers a front-row seat to the dogged investigations that lead to justice.”
The series is produced by Lionsgate Alternative Television and 50 Cent’s G-Unit Film & Television Inc. Executive producers include Jackson, Mike Nichols, Leigh Purinton, Anthony Wilson, and Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith.

But she doesn’t show up for the first day of school. Unsure whether they have a missing person case, or a murder case, detectives zero in on three potential suspects. As the case stalls, detectives launch a bold plan to uncover what really happened to Laura – and bring the truth to light.
Episode 2: Untangle the Lies – Joleen Cummings finishes her shift at Tangles Hair Salon, excited for Mother’s Day and her birthday but when she never picks up her kids, alarm bells go off. When the detectives start digging, they uncover strange behavior, hidden secrets, and an ordinary item that turns this from a missing person case into something far more sinister.
Episode 3: Step Back – Connie Dabate, a loving wife and mother, is murdered in a home invasion gone wrong, leaving her quiet Connecticut community stunned.
