The two rappers have previously worked together on a number of television and film projects initiated by 50 Cent. 50 Cent sees "8 Mile" as a classic and wants to bring Eminem's legacy to younger audiences.

The film "8 Mile," which was released in 2002, was a critical and commercial success, earning over $242 million at the box office and winning an Academy Award for Best Original Song for the track "Lose Yourself." It was also a semi-autobiographical portrayal of Eminem's life, following the journey of a young man trying to make it as a rapper in Detroit's underground music scene.

Fans of both 50 Cent and Eminem are excited to see what the television adaptation of "8 Mile" will bring, and are eagerly awaiting more information on the project. It is unclear at this time when the series will be released or which network it will be on.
