At a SXSW keynote this year Snoop Dogg was a speaker and was interviewed by his manager Ted Chung. During the back and forth conversation Snoop had revealed that he is working on a series for HBO. The show will be a collaboration between Snoop, Allen Hughes, and Rodney Barnes. Allen Hughes was the director of “Menace II Society” and Rodney Barnes was a writer on the animated show “The Boondocks”. The show is said to take place in a 1980s Los Angeles and will be centered on a family facing the backlash of Reaganomics. Much of the show will be inspired by Snoops own childhood which Snoop describes as an incremental change from “having fun and playing football to selling drugs and shooting at each other” When talking about the opportunity he has Snoop said This is like a dream come true, to tell a story in the right way on the right network.” HBO has been on fire lately with their television shows so hopefully Snoop Doggs show adds to the greatness.
