Hulu has greenlit a second season of Wu-Tang; An American Saga. The scripted project loosely based on the origin of The Wu-Tang Clan was ordered as a limited series, but its creator and producers were always hopeful that the story could continue.
Created and written by Alex Tse (Superfly) and group frontman The RZA, Wu-Tang: An American Saga had a 10-episode order for the first season. Method Man is among the executive producers. Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa and GZA are consulting producers. Chris Robinson directed and exec produced the pilot.
The official description: 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.
The cast is toplined by Ashton Sanders as The RZA and Shameik Moore as Raekwon. Erika Alexander, Dave East, Siddiq Saunderson, Marcus Callender, Zolee Griggs, Johnell Young, Julian Elijah Martinez and more also appear.
