The show made its debut in September 2019 on Hulu and returned for Season 2 in September of this year. The 10-episode seasons chronicle the formation of one of Hip-Hop’s most formidable collectives and give fans insight into the members’ personal journeys
The series is set in the early 1990’s, and with the worst of the crack cocaine epidemic as a backdrop, the vision of Bobby Diggs aka The RZA comes to fruition with the formation of the Clan who are basically a dozen brazen young, black men who are torn between music and crime but eventually rise to become the unlikeliest of American success stories.
Hulu has recently renewed the drama series about the origin story of the iconic New York rap crew for a third and final season. that news comes as the series finished its second season at the end of October, with the band scoring record deals but finding much of their recorded output was destroyed in a basement flood.
The second season saw the Clan distracted and very disillusioned with everyday life in the projects, and only Bobby knows their individual talents and it’s value in the music industry, But getting the Clan members to drop everything for music isn’t easy. And therein lies much of the drama. The rolling resentment between Dennis, Sha, Power and Divine still runs deep, while the other Clan members struggle dealing with intercity life.
This time around, Bobby knows he can lead his crew through the challenges of the music business, by focusing on artistry, authencity and tenacity, but in both, seasons one and two, it seems the Clan’s mounting fractures may prove too great to overcome.
Wu-Tang: An American Saga stars Ashton Sanders, Shameik Moore, Siddiq Saunderson, Julian Elijah Martinez, Marcus Callender, Zolee Griggs, T.J. Atoms, Dave East, Johnell Young, Uyoata Udi and Damani Sease.
The series, which was created and written by Alex Tse and The RZA and executive produced by Tse, The RZA, Method Man and Brian Grazer and produced by Imagine Television Studios was marketed to Hulu on the premise of helping to drive Black audiences to the streaming service.
