Snoop Dogg will be executive producing a Sherlock Holmes spinoff television series based on Joe Ide’s, IQ, novel series. Joe is a Japanese-American author who grew up in South Central Los Angeles. Growing up as one of his favorite books were Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes series, which inspired him to create his very own version. Ide’s rendition of Sherlock Holmes comes in the form of Isaiah Quintabe, a 26-year old Black-American private eye from Eastside Long Beach whose genius reputation earned him the nickname IQ. Quintabe’s Dr. John Watson arrives in the form of a reformed Eastside Crip who aid’s IQ in his first-ever high-earning criminal case.
The show will also be directed by Deon Taylor, with Matthew Carnahan and Theo Travers serving as the show’s creators and co-executive producers, with our very own uncle Snoop Dogg and his Snoopadelic Films banner.
