Hulu has announced season 2 of their hit original series, “Wu-Tang: An American Saga,” will premiere on September 8.
Based on one of the most influential and important groups in hip-hop history, “Wu-Tang: An American Saga” is inspired by “The Wu-Tang Manual” and “Tao of Wu”, and based on the true story of the Wu-Tang Clan.
Set in early ’90s New York at the height of the crack cocaine epidemic, the show tracks the Clan’s formation, a vision of Bobby Diggs aka The RZA, who strives to unite a dozen young, black men that are torn between music and crime but eventually rise to become the unlikeliest of American success stories.
According to Deadline, season 2 picks up six months after the close of Season 1, with the Wu-Tang Clan having to overcome even more obstacles, odds, and past beefs as they come together to create the iconic album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).
