Grammy-nominated rapper and actor Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is stepping into new territory as the host and executive producer of 50 Ways to Catch a Killer, a six-part true crime documentary series premiering September 16, 2025, on Fox Nation.
Best known for his chart-topping hits such as In Da Club and his commanding on-screen presence, Jackson is now applying his storytelling skills to explore some of America’s most perplexing murder cases. Produced by his G-Unit Film & Television alongside Lionsgate Alternative Television, the series promises an in-depth look at the painstaking work behind real-life investigations.
Two episodes will debut on launch day, with new installments released weekly until the end of September. Each episode highlights different investigative methods, forensic techniques, and turning points that led detectives to breakthroughs in cases that once seemed unsolvable.

Jason Klarman, chief digital and marketing officer for Fox News Media, praised the collaboration. “We are thrilled to partner with Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson to bring his distinctive voice and perspective to this gripping investigative series,” he said. “With his cultural influence and talent for storytelling, he offers a front-row seat to the dogged investigations that lead to justice.”
For Jackson, the series represents both a professional expansion and a personal passion. “True crime is powerful because it’s real cases, real people, and real justice,” he explained. “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.”
The premiere episode, Fake ’Em Out, examines the disappearance of Maryland teacher Laura Wallen, a case that shocked her community and ultimately revealed devastating truths.
With his global reach and reputation for bold storytelling, Jackson’s foray into true crime underscores the genre’s continued popularity while adding a fresh cultural lens. For fans of both hip-hop and crime documentaries, 50 Ways to Catch a Killer offers an unexpected but compelling crossover.
