Starz has put into development a limited series inspired by the life of Cyntoia Brown-Long, the premium cable network announced Friday.
Executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the scripted drama is based Brown-Long’s book, “Free Cyntoia: My Search for Redemption in the American Prison System.” Brown-Long served 15 years in prison after she was sex trafficked by a boyfriend, tried as an adult at 16 years old and sentenced to life for aggravated robbery and first-degree murder.
La La Anthony, who starred on “Power” alongside Jackson, brought the project to his G-Unit Film & Television company and will also serve as executive producer on the series.
