CURTIS “50 CENT” JACKSON is officially getting in on the ‘Payday’ action — but from the producer’s chair.

The rapper and entertainment entrepreneur has boarded the planned TV series based on the ‘Payday’ video games as an executive producer. He’s doing it through his G-Unit Film & TV banner, adding another high-profile name to the project as it moves through development.

The ‘Payday’ games are best known for their co-op heist setup — players suit up in masks, form a crew and pull off robberies with varying degrees of chaos. A TV adaptation has been in the works, aiming to translate that high-stakes, mission-driven energy into an ongoing series.

The production is being handled by Vice Studios in partnership with video game company Starbreeze Entertainment, the studio behind the franchise.

No casting, plot specifics or release plans are included in the details shared so far — but Jackson’s involvement signals the project is building out its creative team at the top as it develops.
