FOX Nation has partnered with rapper and producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson to launch a new true crime series titled 50 Ways to Catch a Killer, the network announced Thursday.
The six-part series, premiering Sept. 16, offers a behind-the-scenes look into real-life murder investigations. Each episode highlights the tactics, forensic breakthroughs, and relentless detective work that ultimately lead to arrests and convictions.

Jackson, who hosts and executive produces the series through his G-Unit Film & Television banner, hopes the show will bring viewers closer to the emotional and investigative intensity of these cases.
“True crime is powerful because it’s real cases, real people and real justice,” Jackson said in a news release. “We’re bringing these stories to life in a way that’s both gripping and authentic.”
The program was developed in partnership with Lionsgate Alternative Television. Executive producers include Jackson, Mike Nichols, Leigh Purinton, Anthony Wilson, and Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith.
Jason Klarman, FOX News Media’s chief digital and marketing officer, praised Jackson’s role in the series.
“With his cultural influence and talent for storytelling, he offers a front-row seat to the dogged investigations that lead to justice,” Klarman said.
Each episode focuses on a different case, including the disappearance of Maryland teacher Laura Wallen, the Mother’s Day vanishing of Joleen Cummings in Florida, and a Connecticut home invasion that turned out to be something far more sinister.

Episode six, titled “Never Give Up,” reveals the story of Mike Williams and his mother’s resilience in discovering what truly happened to him. Williams heads out for a solo duck hunt on Lake Seminole and never returns. Authorities initially suspected he was the victim of an alligator attack. When investigators could not find a body, the case went cold. Sixteen years later, Williams’s mother’s persistence reinvigorated the case.
The first two episodes will air on Sept. 16, and two new episodes will be released weekly at 5 a.m. on Tuesdays through the end of the month, streaming exclusively on Fox Nation.
