Viceland has ordered eight episodes of “Hustle,” an unscripted series that puts the spotlight on scrappy young New York entrepreneurs and hails from exec producers Alicia Keys and Marcus Samuelsson.
Producer Beth Greenwald had long sought to develop a show revolving around the fates of uniquely New York startup businesses but couldn’t find the right format. She finally came across John Henry, a Dominican-American wunderkind who sold his first business venture by the age of 25. Through his Harlem Capital firm, Henry’s mission is to coach promising business ventures to prosperity.
Each episode of “Hustle” features Henry working with an entrepreneur to study the problems in startup business ventures in a range of fields — food, apparel, beauty et al — and help guide them to success. General Motors’ Cadillac is a co-producer of the series in an effort to showcase its new Cadillac XT4 model.
