As casting news continues for the upcoming Snoop Dogg biopic, Hercy Miller will take on the role of Master P in the film.

If there’s one film we’re incredibly curious to see in theaters, it’s the upcoming Snoop Dogg biopic. The movie is slated to hit theaters on August 6th, 2027, and slowly but surely, we’re finding out more and more about what to expect. We recently learned of a few new additions to the cast, including those who will play key family members and crucial collaborators during Snoop’s career.

Per Deadline, Hercy Miller, the son of Master P, will be taking on the role of his father in his feature film debut. Meanwhile, P-Valley star Zachariah Rogers will take on the role of The D.O.C., and Tyquan Givens has been enlisted to play the role of an original character named B. Mack.

Universal Pictures is currently behind the film, and they’ve previously seen significant success in the past with hip-hop-related biopics. They’re responsible for 2015’s Straight Outta Compton and Eminem’s 8 Mile. Hopefully, they’ll do Snoop Dogg’s biopic justice.
