Amidst all the cancellation news being spurned out from the Netflix headquarters, one piece of good news managed to break its way through the cracks this week. While it was announced in December that the award-winning rapper, Megan Thee Stallion, would be producing an exclusive television series with Netflix, the details were incredibly limited. Finally, some major updates have been announced, and we are shaking with excitement! According to Deadline, the show will be loosely based on the rapper's personal life. Here's everything we know so far.

In December 2021, Deadline was first to report that Megan Thee Stallion had signed a deal with Netflix to produce a television show as well as other projects for the site. "I've always had a passion for telling creative and entertaining stories," Megan stated, "so I'm thrilled about this partnership with Netflix. Venturing into production is the next step in my journey as an entrepreneur, and I can't wait to bring all my ideas to life and for my Hotties to watch."
