Universal Pictures is releasing the Snoop Dogg biopic, Snoop, on Friday, Aug. 6, 2027.

The movie takes the place of the Untitled Universal Event Film.

Universal has had a great streak with musical biopics, taking Lionsgate’s Michael Jackson movie Michael past $1 billion global, having handled overseas. In addition, their N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton and Eminem autobiopic 8 Mile were respectively big hits grossing $201.6M WW and $242.8M WW.

Snoop follows the rise of the artist, mogul and gangsta rap icon that we know as Snoop Dogg. 

Craig Brewer (Song Sung Blue, Hustle & Flow) is set direct the project based on his rewrite of Joe Robert Cole’s original script, with Jonathan Daviss (Outer Banks) set to star in the titular role. 

As the first project under Death Row Pictures’ overall deal with NBCUniversal Entertainment, the film will be produced by Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer (8 Mile), Snoop Dogg and Death Row Pictures President Sara Ramaker, and will incorporate music from Snoop’s vast catalogue.
