Hulu has ordered a 10-episode Wu-Tang Clan scripted series, titled Wu-Tang: An American Saga, from RZA. According to THR, the show will be "set in New York in the 1990s at the height of the crack cocaine epidemic" and will "follow the Clan's formation, a vision of Bobby Digs (aka RZA), who strives to unite a dozen young black men who are torn between music and crime but who eventually rise to become the unlikeliest of American success stories." The Heathers reboot is still alive at Paramount Network. Previously canceled, the series has had some upsetting scenes edited out and will now air as marathon during the week of Halloween. The nine episodes will air two hours a night starting Thursday, Oct. 25 and will conclude on Oct. 29, followed by a Heathers-themed Lip Sync Battle.
