Rapper 50 Cent is set to become a reality TV teacher in the US version of top chef Jamie Oliver's 'Dream School'.
The Sundance Channel executives have picked up the show, which chronicles college dropouts as they attempt to earn a diploma, reported Daily Star.
The series offers young adults an education they could not be taught in conventional school, featuring a faculty which includes professional musicians, politicians, filmmakers, actors and artists.
"We literally changed the lives of many of the kids for the better. Some of them went back to school and are now excelling; some of them found out that, despite being told in school that they would never achieve anything, they were actually very gifted at art or acting and went on to achieve great things," said Oliver, who created the show.
50 Cent is expected to appear as a teacher, and he will also serve as an Executive Producer under his production company G-Unit Films and Television banner.
'Dream School' is slated to premiere later this year.
