Instead of being shortchanged with a two-hour biopic, the Wu-Tang Clan will finally tell their tale over the course of a 10-episode limited series premiering this September on Hulu. Wu-Tang: An American Saga is the brainchild of RZA and screenwriter Alex Tse (Watchmen, Superfly) and features the likes of Dave East as Method Man and Joey Bada$$ as Inspectah Deck.

From Huluโ€™s press release:

Based on one of the most influential and important groups in hip-hop history, the series marks the latest high-profile original series order from Hulu that aims to deliver authentic, culturally-relevant storytelling to todayโ€™s audiences. The series will explore and expand the world of the Wu-Tang clan, and marks Huluโ€™s second project with Brian Grazerโ€™s Imagine following the Emmy and Grammy Award winning documentary, The Beatles: Eight Days A Week โ€“ The Touring Years.

Wu-Tang: An American Saga is inspired by โ€œThe Wu-Tang Manualโ€ and โ€œTao of Wuโ€, and based on the true story of the Wu-Tang Clan. Set in early โ€™90s New York at the height of the crack cocaine epidemic, the show tracks the Clanโ€™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.

โ€œThe Wu-Tang Clan has made an immeasurable contribution to music and our popular culture,โ€ Huluโ€™s SVP of Originals, Craig Erwich, said. โ€œTheir unique musical form and authentic storytelling continues to speak to our times. This series is a conversation worthy event that will bring their history and music to life in a way that hasnโ€™t been seen before.โ€

On the heels of Sacha Jenkinsโ€™ docuseries Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men, itโ€™s beautiful to see the Wu-Tang Clan continue to receive their flowers while they can smell them.

Wu-Tang: An American Saga will premiere on Hulu on Sept.ย 4.
