The network announced the project Tuesday at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour in Beverly Hills, California. 

Titled Outlaw: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur and directed by Allen Hughes, the docu-series will tell the story of Tupac Shakur and his mother, Afeni Shakur told by the people who knew them best.

“There’s a ton of music and a ton of material, but there’s also an unbelievably fascinating biography, which is really a biography about Tupac’s mother and father and how he grew up in various places with them,” FX CEO John Landgraf told reporters at TCA. “[Shakur] is a very fascinating man and a very complicated artist. I think the kinds of stories that appeal to us are the ones that have characters at the center of them but they’re also about humanity in a really broad way. They’re about big, profound ideas about art and society.”

The network also announced five more documentary projects.
