The series is a “high-octane animated neo-noir”
An animated action series, tehk city, co-created by Ice-T and Tommy The Animator and executive produced by Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Arabian Prince, is scheduled for release in 2026.
According to Termthe series is is produced with Ambitious Entertainment, which is in discussions with domestic and international distributors and streamers. Tehk city has been described as a “high-octane animated neo-noir” that “unfolds in a brutal near-future penal colony where every choice is life or death, chaos reigns and only the ruthless survive.”
“I just wanted to bring something new to the animation that has never been seen before, coming from the mind of a Black creator from the projects of Manhattan’s Upper West Side,” Ice-T said in a written statement.
Industry veterans Ken Corben, Kirk Shaw and Thomas Vitale are also on board as producers and EPs, with Rusty Cundeiff as producer and Robert Rippberger as another EP.
“Tehk city is one of those rare projects created through the collaboration of an exceptional team,” said Shaw of Ambitious Entertainment. “We are creating a world that only animation can capture, where morality is a luxury and the visual style is as fierce as the story itself.”
The series was first introduced in 2022 as DEATH FOR HIRE: The Origins of Tehk City. The animated series depicts a group of pushers and killers who toe the line between anti-hero and arch-villain, quickly obscuring reality.
Earlier this year, Ice-T honored his longtime friend Snoop when he presented the veteran rapper with the Entrepreneur of the Year Award at the 2025 Webby Awards. Billboard reported that the 29th annual Webby Awards took place May 12 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. Snoop gained recognition for his groundbreaking business ventures, including Broadus Foods and cannabis products, TV appearances and Death Row Records, the record label that launched his career.
