Ice Cube Says a Four- or Five-Part Docuseries on His Life Is in Talks
Ice Cube wants his life story told as a documentary series, not a biopic. Asked by Complex, in an interview published Nov 13, 2026, whether a film about him might follow Straight Outta Compton, he said: "We're talking about a four, five-part documentary right now, about me and my journey."
He added that there is "nothing scripted yet." No network, streamer, director or date has been announced.
Why not another biopic
Cube has been open about how hard the format is. On the debut episode of Listen & Laugh, the podcast he hosts with Mike Epps, he told Dr. Dre, "You know how hard it is to make a biopic, though," and said people still complain about the one they made, as KAZI reported.
Straight Outta Compton, released in 2015, told the story of N.W.A as a group. Cube co-produced it, and his son, O'Shea Jackson Jr., played him, according to Britannica. Complex noted the film earned an Academy Award nomination for best original screenplay.
He has also said an N.W.A reunion depends on Dr. Dre.
