Gilgo Beach Killer Series Premieres on Peacock

50 Cent’s Instagram Announcement

Rapper-turned-producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has fans buzzing after he took to Instagram on June 10 to announce that his latest true-crime series is now live on Peacock. In a succinct but attention-grabbing post, 50 Cent shared a still from the streaming platform alongside the caption, “🚨Gilgo Beach killer Available now on Peacock ! @50centaction @bransoncognac.” The post, which tags both his content hub @50centaction and his Branson Cognac brand, has already racked up tens of thousands of likes and dozens of share comments in a matter of hours.

Inside The Documentary

Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets peels back the layers on one of the most chilling unsolved crime sprees in recent U.S. history. Between December 2010 and April 2011, the bodies of 10 women — many linked to sex work or trafficking — were discovered along a stretch of highways near Gilgo Beach on Long Island. The four-part docuseries, executive produced by 50 Cent in partnership with Lionsgate, features exclusive interviews with family members, law enforcement officials and experts who have spent years on the case. Highlights include never-before-seen surveillance footage, case files that suggest fresh leads and commentary on potential suspects.

Streaming Across Platforms

While Peacock holds exclusive rights to Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets, 50 Cent has taken his promotional strategy even further. In a separate Instagram update, he announced that @50centaction content is now accessible on a host of streaming devices and services, including Roku, LG, Vizio, Sling, Prime Video, DirecTV, Plex and Xumo Play. This multi-platform push underscores Jackson’s ambition to expand his digital footprint beyond music and mainstream television, carving out a niche in the booming true-crime genre.

Producer Track Record

The Gilgo Beach series marks another milestone in 50 Cent’s increasingly prolific producing career. Known for his role as executive producer on the hit Starz drama Power and its spinoffs, Jackson co-founded G-Unit Film & Television in 2008. He has since diversified into documentaries, scripted series and feature films under that banner. Previously, he lent his star power to Showtime’s social justice docuseries Black Mafia Family and served as an on-screen host for VH1’s Project Greenlight. Industry observers note that his hands-on approach — often appearing on camera, lending his voice and even drafting music beds for promos — helps differentiate his projects in an overcrowded streaming marketplace.

Early Teasers And Fan Response

Two weeks before the launch, Jackson kicked off the hype cycle with another Instagram post that teased the series’ premiere. “🚨Catch my new Show : Gilgo Beach Killer, House of Secrets premieres Tuesday June 10 on Peacock. This you must see check me out!” he wrote, again tagging his Branson Cognac line. The two-step promotional strategy — date reveal followed by launch announcement — fueled speculation among followers about new clues and the rapper’s deeper involvement beyond presenting.

True-crime enthusiasts have long been fascinated by the Gilgo Beach murders, partly because the case remains unsolved nearly 14 years later. Despite the arrest and conviction of a suspect in a related Long Island killing — a recent development covered in the series — many questions linger about the full extent of the pattern, the mastermind behind it and possible connections to other unsolved homicides nationwide.

Jackson’s Instagram promo winds up in fewer than a dozen words, but the impact of that single line — “Gilgo Beach killer Available now on Peacock !” — is amplified by his millions of followers and reputation for bold branding moves. Whether viewers are tuning in for the twists and turns of cold cases or simply following the rapper’s next entertainment venture, the series is poised to dominate binge-watch lists this summer.

As audiences click “play” on Peacock, 50 Cent’s latest project reminds us that sometimes the most succinct social media updates carry the biggest announcements. Viewers can stream all four episodes of Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets now, exclusively on Peacock.

50 Cent starred in a semi-autobiographical film called 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'' which was released in 2005.
