‘Wu-Tang: An American Saga 2’ Full Cast List: Meet Dave East and others from Hulu original
One of the most iconic hip-hop groups Wu-Tang Clan brought back raw intensity to the game in the 90s. It's rare for a group to survive so long but they are still going strong. The renowned clan placed the East Coast hip-hop scene on the map with their hardcore lyrics, mirroring the troubles of society. They further got recognition when Hulu decided to drop a fictional drama show based on their life in 2019 titled ‘Wu-Tang: An American Saga’.
The show is coming to enthrall the audience once again as it enters its second season. Come September 8, and fans will be able to stream the much-awaited show. The first season thrilled the audience with multiple stories that included Bobby Diggs played by Ashton Sanders returning to New York, his brother going to jail, the death of Haze (based on real-life death of Ernest Sayon), and the squad coming together to record their debut album. Season 2, however, won’t see Joey Bada$$ returning to the small screen as it seems he has prioritized 50 Cent’s popular show ‘Cent's Power Book III: Raising Kanan’.
