“Wu Tang: An American Saga,” created and written by the RZA and Alex Tse, depicts the early days of the Wu-Tang Clan in 1990s New York. Hulu renewed the scripted series for a second season in January.

But the end of its 10-episode first season had many fans wondering, “Whither U-God?,” a member of the rap collective since its inception (real name Lamont Hawkins), who had yet to make an appearance. Fans can wonder no more; RZA confirmed to Variety exclusively that U-God will be depicted in the show’s sophomore season.

“Yes, he’s signed on for Season 2. He always was going to be part of it,” said RZA, adding that U-God has been consulting on the show.

In 2018, U-God published “Raw: My Journey into the Wu-Tang,” a memoir on his career with the group, at one point detailing how fractured the rap collective had become.

Hulu called Dollface was one of its “best performing new binge series for subscriber engagement” amongst Hulu Originals in 2019. The comedy series, which launched in November, follows Jules (Kat Dennings), a young vibrant woman who is dealing with the aftermath of being dumped by her boyfriend. With a broken heart, Jules battles her own imagination in order to literally and metaphorically re-enter the world of women, with friendships she left behind and the new battle of dating post breakup.

Brenda Song, Shay Mitchell and Esther Povitsky also star. The series was created by Jordan Weiss, who served as an executive producer alongside showrunner Ira Ungerleider, Margot Robbie, Brett Hedblom and Tom Ackerley for LuckyChap Entertainment,...

Hulu has renewed “Wu Tang: An American Saga” and “Dollface,” each for a second season.

The former, created and written by Alex Tse and the RZA, is based on the formation of the Wu-Tang Clan. The first season explored the hip-hop group’s history and daily struggles of balancing its rising music career on the backdrop of the drug-fueled early-1990s.

“Wu-Tang: An American Saga” stars Ashton Sanders, Shameik Moore, Dave East, Siddiq Saunderson, Marcus Callender, Julian Elijah Martinez, Zolee Griggs, Erika Alexander, Tj Atoms and Johnell Young. Hailing from Imagine Television Studios, it is executive produced by Tse, the Rza, Brian Grazer, Method Man, Francie Calfo and Samie Kim Falvey.

Dollface, which premiered on Nov.

Bobby Diggs, aka RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan, used a curious analogy when speaking with TheWrap about Hulu’s upcoming scripted series tracking the rise of the legendary rap group: He said it was like “making sweet potato pie.”

RZA was describing both his and co-creator Alex Tse’s feelings towards seeking involvement from members from the real Wu-Tang Clan. We’ll let him explain it from here.

“We know that we’re making sweet potato pie, and we know that it takes ingredients. And we know that this guy does got some good nutmeg, and this guy got some good butter. But we know where to get nutmeg and butter from too. And we’re making this pie. Some members will be in town and they’ll say ‘Oh we’re going to come by the writers’ room.’ And maybe they don’t come in time. Some members, they’re right there.

“Wu-Tang: An American Saga,” a new series on Hulu assaying the rise of the Wu-Tang Clan as recollected by one of its members, joins a recent wave of art in which the subjects tell high-gloss versions of their own stories.

Last year, “Bohemian Rhapsody” — a hagiographic look at the rise of the band Queen, made with the enthusiastic assent and guidance of that group’s surviving members, became an Oscar-winning smash hit. It was followed this summer by “Rocketman,” a big-budget retelling of Elton John’s life story in which John, too, participated. Both versions were told redemptively, with a certain glowing admiration for both the musicianship of their subjects and other, loftier qualities. In 2015’s “Straight Outta Compton,” about the rap group N.W.A., the involvement was yet more literal: Not merely did the rappers in question produce the film, but Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr.

Hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan recently was the subject of a four-part documentary series on Showtime, but founding member RZA says that Hulu’s forthcoming Wu drama will give viewers even more of a glimpse into the band as there were things the members were “too shy to say in front of a camera”.

Wu-Tang: An American Saga, which launches September 4 on the streaming platform, tells the story of the band starting in early 1990s. It looks at the group’s members, who grew up during the height of the crack cocaine epidemic, and tracks the Clan’s formation — a vision of Bobby Diggs aka RZA, who strives to unite a dozen young black men who are torn between music and crime but eventually rise to become the unlikeliest of American success stories.

“Wu Tang has always entertained and inspired, and this show is inspirational,” RZA said. “The documentary touches on one thing,...

Hulu is the latest network to take arrive at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, and there is a lot of news to unpack.

The biggest news of all is that The Handmaid's Tale will be back for a fourth season.

There was never a question about the future of the Elisabeth Moss-fronted drama series.

Despite a divisive third season, the streamer knows the show remains a big hit and is bringing it back for Season 4.

The Handmaid's Tale has garnered 11 Emmy wins throughout its run.

It is currently airing Wednesdays on the streamer.

“Rest in peace, you tough bastard,” declares Power’s Joseph Sikora as the notoriously vicious Tommy Egan while he and Omari Hardwick’s Ghost look down at the bloodied and very dead body of the Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson portrayed Kanan on the Starz drama today.

Playing the traditional Power card of making a major move in each season’s eighth episode, tonight’s “A Friend of the Family’ saw the Courtney Kemp created crime series go somewhere almost no one expected and yet precisely where the Ep alluded it would with the NYPD shooting death of the rap superstar’s character.
