The show synopsis reads: "In an era of social injustice and internet trolls, a league of black superheroes, Trill League is tasked with saving the world from monsters, super villains and haters of all kinds.
"Get ready for this remixed rendition of your favourite superheroes as the series satirises modern American society."
50 said: "I am excited to bring G-Unit Film & Television to an innovative platform like Quibi with my partners at Lionsgate and 3 Arts.
"Anthony Piper and Jameel Saleem have created a world we haven't seen before in Trill League, looking forward to sharing it soon."
Co-creator Jameel Saleem added: "Writing a show about black superheroes is a dream come true for me and I couldn't be luckier getting to do it with the brilliant Anthony Piper, who created this awesome world, and all the folks at G-Unit, Lionsgate, 3Arts and Quibi.
"It's going to be something special."
