Shin and Jake Hong, with producer Ki-woong Kim for CJ ENM Co., Ltd. Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening and David Tibballs executive producing for Eureka Productions (a Fremantle company), alongside Bruce Eskowitz.
With the series coming soon, Megan Thee Stallion’s 2025 is shaping up to be full of new work and experiences.
“I don’t know. I love everything I’m doing right now,” she shared with VIBE in October 2024 of her latest release MEGAN: ACT II.
“What I really wanted to try was in that Metal kind of Rock world, so I had to call Courtney back. I had to call Spiritbox back and I was like, ‘Let’s do this. Let’s try it.’ And it came out fire. I think I honestly want to keep tapping into that world because I really enjoy Rock music, I enjoy Metal music, so I’m going to keep going over there.”
