Malcolm X’s daughter to produce series on father
A television series based on the life of Malcolm X produced by his daughter is in the works at Sony Pictures Television’s TriStar, Variety reports.

Malcolm X’s daughter is aiming to keep her father’s legacy alive.
A television series based on the life of Malcolm X produced by his daughter is in the works at Sony Pictures Television’s TriStar, Variety reports.
The series will be based on the novels “X: A Novel” and “The Awakening of Malcolm X,” both of which were co-written by Malcolm X’s daughter, Ilyasah Shabazz.
“X: A Novel” was also co-written by Kekla Magoon while “The Awakening of Malcolm X” was also co-written by Tiffany D. Jackson.
Should the project move forward, it would not be the first time Malcolm X has been portrayed onscreen.
Most famously, his life was depicted in the 1992 Spike Lee film “Malcolm X” and most recently in Amazon Prime’s “One Night in Miami.”
In addition to writing the two books that will serve as the basis for the series, Shabazz has also written the books “Growing Up X,” the children’s book “Malcolm Little: The Boy Who Grew Up to Become Malcolm X,” and “Betty Before X.”
Shabazz is a noted educator, activist, and motivational speaker. She is also the co-chair of The Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center located at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, New York, which was the site of her father’s assassination in 1965.
