LAS VEGAS - s4story -- (Los Angeles, Calif.) - The hit Hulu show Wu-Tang: An American Saga, starring iPOP! alumni Shameik Moore has received the green light for season two with a release date slated for mid-2020. Telling the origins of the hip-hop collective, Wu-Tang Clan, Moore plays the role of Sha aka Raekwon in the Imagine Entertainment produced series.

The show's return was announced last month at the Television Critics Association's Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, California. The boundary-pushing show was created and written by Wu-Tang Clan co-founder and leader RZA alongside "Superfly" writer Alex Tse. The groundbreaking drama provides an education in rap culture, giving viewers a close examination at how Bobby Diggs, known better as RZA, turned his vision into a long-lasting, hit-making machine.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Moore had this to say about the famed groups' importance in pop culture, "They just stuck to the script, they never sold out. They were unique, especially for the time. Entertaining and inspiring people, that's what Wu-Tang became."
