Hulu and 20th Television are teaming up to develop “Hip Hop Cop“, a TV series based on Ron Stallworth’s memoir “The Gangs of Zion.”
This exciting adaptation marks Stallworth’s first book since his 2018 bestseller “Black Klansman” and offers a fresh, provocative look at his undercover work with the Salt Lake City Police Department during the rise of rap and hip hop in the 1990s.
A Bold New Adaptation
The series is not a sequel to BlacKkKlansman; instead, it continues Ron Stallworth’s incredible life story.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1990s America, “Hip Hop Cop” promises to blend thrilling true crime with the cultural explosion of hip hop.
This unique mix offers audiences a dynamic narrative filled with intense, at times absurd, and always provocative storytelling.
Creative Powerhouse Behind ‘The Series ‘Hip Hop Cop’
“Hip Hop Cop” is brought to life by a team of industry veterans:
- Kevin Willmott, known for his award-winning work on BlacKkKlansman and Da 5 Bloods, is set to write the series.
- His experience in adapting true stories into compelling narratives will undoubtedly add depth to Stallworth’s tale.
- Anthony Hemingway, an accomplished director with credits including “American Crime Story,” “Underground,” and Netflix’s “Forever,” will helm the project. His impressive track record ensures that the series will captivate viewers with both style and substance.
These collaborations reunite Willmott and Stallworth after their successful partnership on BlacKkKlansman, promising an innovative approach to the adaptation.
Strategic Partnership & Production Excellence
