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."

Meanwhile Power is gearing up for it's final few episodes, after first debuting on the Starz network in June 2014.

The show focuses on James St. Patrick, a ruthless, intelligent drug-dealer under the nickname "Ghost," who wishes to leave the criminal world to pursue legitimate business interests as a nightclub owner.

St. Patrick aims to balance these two lives, while avoiding police capture amid a crumbling marriage and shifting economic alliances.
