“Wu-Tang: An American Saga” has been renewed for Season 3 at Hulu, which will also be the show’s last.
The news comes just over one week after the finale of Season 2 of the show, which is based on the true story of the pioneering rap group. The show is also inspired by the books “The Wu-Tang Manual” and “Tao of Wu,” both of which were co-authored by RZA, a founding member of The Wu-Tang Clan.
Set in early ’90s New York at the height of the crack cocaine epidemic, the show tracks the Clan’s formation, a vision of Bobby Diggs aka The RZA, who strives to unite a dozen young, black men that are torn between music and crime but eventually rise to become the unlikeliest of American success stories.

Wu-Tang: An American Saga is coming to an end at Hulu.
The streamer has renewed the drama series about the origin story of the iconic New York rap crew for a third and final season.
It comes as the series finished its second season on Hulu at the end of October, with the band scoring record deals but finding much of their recorded output destroyed by a basement flood.

Siddiq Saunderson currently stars in the Hulu series Wu-Tang: An American Saga, which returned for its second season this September. In the drama, he portrays Dennis Coles, a loving 19-year-old who would do anything to protect his friends and family.
Dennis, aka “D-Love,” also has an untapped talent that helps him grow into the artist Ghostface Killah.
Earlier this year, Saunderson starred in the indie drama R#J, a Gen Z adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, which premiered at Sundance. Adapted by Timur Bekmambetov and directed by Carey Williams, Saunderson received rave reviews as Mercutio. His additional television credits include BET’s Boomerang and Netflix’s Messiah.
The stakes seem so much higher in Season 2 with Bobby and jail and your shooting. Will the stakes be that much higher all season?

I’ve long been of the opinion that William Shakespeare’s work is for everyone. Whether interpreted as a community theatre production, an experimental indie film or a prestige period Oscar contender, there’s always room to bring out new details and find new experiences within the text. But R#J is a bummer of a reminder that without the proper effort and engagement from the filmmakers, even a promising concept can end up feeling lazy, cynical and clunky.
Director Carey Williams’s movie is meant to be Romeo And Juliet for the age of Instagram and video chat. Like the 2018 thriller Searching, R#J takes place in the world of phone and computer screens. We see conversations in FaceTime calls or livestreams while gaining more information through Instagram posts and searches.
Camaron Engels and Francesca Noel are fine in the title roles, but Siddiq Saunderson delivers the standout performance as Mercutio.

Every generation has their iteration of the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet, whether it's the titular 1968 film directed by Franco Zeffirelli or the iconic Baz Luhrmann-directed 1996 feature starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. Now, there's R#J, Carey Williams's bold technological take on the tragic tale of teenage lovers that spins the traditional story on its head. In the Gen-z-centric adaptation, which premiered at the virtual Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 30, Williams poses the question of what would happen if Romeo and Juliet were members of the social media-savvy generation that have only lived in a world where everything happens online.

Shakespeare’s famous tale of doomed lovers Romeo and Juliet has been reinvented countless times, but “R#J,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival Saturday night, tells the tragedy through computer screens and social media.
“You think about why there needs to be another ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ but this way we’re telling it gave us a reason to tell it,” director Carey Williams said at TheWrap’s Sundance Virtual Studio presented by Nfp and National Geographic. “The representation we have in the movie gave us another reason, especially with the…world that we’re in today. So I was excited about that, excited about expanding my voice as a filmmaker by doing something I haven’t done and doing something the people have never done before.”
That diversity can be seen with stars like Camaron Engels and Francesca Noel, who star as the Black Romeo and the Latina Juliet.

There are instances in director Carey Williams’ boldly experimental yet wearisome “R#J” that genuinely grasp the essence of romance, identity and existence in the age of social media. Those fleeting but relatable moments feel like major triumphs in Williams’ Gen Z-centric adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet,” a movie that unfolds almost entirely on electronic screens. And you get a taste of them enough times to wish for a film that achieves a similar level of insight on the whole, something with purpose that went beyond the contrived quest, “What if we do Shakespeare, but solely in the virtual world?”

William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” has long endured as one of the written word’s greatest love stories, but what’s often forgotten among the “star-crossed lovers” and the dumb rage of familial feuds is just how nutty hormone-addled teenagers can be. It was true in the 16th century when The Bard committed its story to paper — based on a number of earlier tales — and then the stage; it was true when Franco Zeffirelli made his 1968 film, and when Baz Luhrmann updated it in 1996; and it’s certainly true in 2021.
For the latest — and, given the ways teenagers interact these days, wholly inevitable — adaptation, filmmaker Williams’ “R#J” joins a growing cadre of “screen films,” this one bolstered by the producing and technological talents of Timur Bekmambetov and Igor Tsay’s Screenlife platform, which aims to build the best screen-set films in a market beset by them.

If every generation gets the “Romeo and Juliet” it deserves, well, Gen Z may need to wait a little longer for theirs. It probably won’t be Sundance entry “R#J,” which is so intently of-the-moment it almost feels dated before the credits roll.
For his first feature, director Carey Williams uses Screenlife — in which the entire story unfolds on devices — to retell Shakespeare’s timeless tale, with a few notable twists. This time, Romeo and Juliet fall in love while DMing each other emojis and gifs from “The Office.” Purists need not apply, of course, but that’s Ok: the Bard can stand up to interpretations from any era. Then again, where’s the dignity in Dwight Schrute? And can we really consider nearly-nude selfies (So. Many. Selfies.) a worthy upgrade?
What “R#J” does have going for it is a diverse cast that reflects a wider range of adolescence than most adaptations.

“Wu Tang: An American Saga,” created and written by the RZA and Alex Tse, depicts the early days of the Wu-Tang Clan in 1990s New York. Hulu renewed the scripted series for a second season in January.
But the end of its 10-episode first season had many fans wondering, “Whither U-God?,” a member of the rap collective since its inception (real name Lamont Hawkins), who had yet to make an appearance. Fans can wonder no more; RZA confirmed to Variety exclusively that U-God will be depicted in the show’s sophomore season.
“Yes, he’s signed on for Season 2. He always was going to be part of it,” said RZA, adding that U-God has been consulting on the show.
In 2018, U-God published “Raw: My Journey into the Wu-Tang,” a memoir on his career with the group, at one point detailing how fractured the rap collective had become.

Kat Dennings comedy Dollface and music period drama Wu-Tang: An American Saga have been renewed for second seasons by Hulu.
The streamer is bringing back both shows following their launches in the final quarter of 2019.
Hulu called Dollface was one of its “best performing new binge series for subscriber engagement” amongst Hulu Originals in 2019.

RZA speaks about his new office-bound lifestyle with reverence — the grind and mundanity, structure and camaraderie. The writers’ room for Hulu’s new original series, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, is, in his words, a utopian ideal. He describes working on the show with words like “sacred” and “therapy.” From October 2018 to January 2019, he traded in the 10-member brotherhood of the Wu-Tang Clan for a 10-person writing staff writing a 10-episode season of television. And what RZA cherished most of all were the coffee runs.

Bobby Diggs, aka RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan, used a curious analogy when speaking with TheWrap about Hulu’s upcoming scripted series tracking the rise of the legendary rap group: He said it was like “making sweet potato pie.”
RZA was describing both his and co-creator Alex Tse’s feelings towards seeking involvement from members from the real Wu-Tang Clan. We’ll let him explain it from here.
“We know that we’re making sweet potato pie, and we know that it takes ingredients. And we know that this guy does got some good nutmeg, and this guy got some good butter. But we know where to get nutmeg and butter from too. And we’re making this pie. Some members will be in town and they’ll say ‘Oh we’re going to come by the writers’ room.’ And maybe they don’t come in time. Some members, they’re right there.

“Wu-Tang: An American Saga,” a new series on Hulu assaying the rise of the Wu-Tang Clan as recollected by one of its members, joins a recent wave of art in which the subjects tell high-gloss versions of their own stories.
Last year, “Bohemian Rhapsody” — a hagiographic look at the rise of the band Queen, made with the enthusiastic assent and guidance of that group’s surviving members, became an Oscar-winning smash hit. It was followed this summer by “Rocketman,” a big-budget retelling of Elton John’s life story in which John, too, participated. Both versions were told redemptively, with a certain glowing admiration for both the musicianship of their subjects and other, loftier qualities. In 2015’s “Straight Outta Compton,” about the rap group N.W.A., the involvement was yet more literal: Not merely did the rappers in question produce the film, but Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr.
