“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.”
The series started as a successful Anthony Piper Kickstarter campaign seeking to make a comic parodying “superheroes, anime, and hip-hop culture.” The series is also tied to film and TV giant, Lionsgate.
This series marks yet another series on the platform which has a number of scripted and unscripted series. Recently, Quibi has been going on a content spree with one of its recent inclusions being Kirby Jenner.
