Trailer To Season 2 Of Wu-Tang: An American Saga
During its TCA presentation, Hulu released the trailer to the second season of its acclaimed drama Wu-Tang: An American Saga, which returns on Wednesday, Sept. 8. The first three episodes of Season 2 will drop all at once, followed by one installment on subsequent Wednesdays.
Wu-Tang: An American Saga, from Wu-Tang Clan frontman The RZA, writer Alex Tse, Imagine Television and 20th Television, tells the story of the band starting in early 1990s. It looks at the group’s members, who grew up during the height of the crack cocaine epidemic, and tracks the Clan’s formation — a vision of Bobby Diggs aka The RZA, who strives to unite a dozen young black men who are torn between music and crime but eventually rise to become the unlikeliest of American success stories.
Season 2 picks up six months after the close of Season 1, with the Wu-Tang Clan having to overcome even more obstacles, odds and past beefs as they come together to create the iconic album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Along the way, introducing more members of the Wu Clan.
The Wu-Tang Clan has released five gold and platinum albums, selling 40 million albums worldwide. The group is often hailed as one of the most influential groups in the history of hip-hop with a unique sound and distinct image.
In addition to Ashton Sanders, Siddiq Saunderson, Shameik Moore, Marcus Callender and Julian Elijah Martinez — who respectively play the aforementioned Bobby, Dennis, Sha, Power and Divine — Wu-Tang‘s Season 2 cast includes Zolee Griggs as Shurrie, T.J. Atoms as Ason, Dave East as Shotgun, Johnell Young as Gary, Erika Alexander as Linda Diggs, Uyoata Udi as Rebel and Damani Sease as U-God.
Real-life Wu-Tang Clan members The RZA and Method Man serve as executive producers, along with Alex Tse (2009’s Watchmen) and Empire‘s Brian Grazer and Francie Calfo.
