SNOOP DOGG & DR. DRE’S ‘THE WASH’ MOVIE BEING TURNED INTO TV SERIES
Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s cult-classic film The Wash is getting the television treatment as it will be turned into a series, according to the movie’s writer and director DJ Pooh.
On Friday (March 3), Pooh took to Twitter to announce that the 2001 film will be turned into a TV series, posting an image of an orange bucket and air freshener with The Wash logo stamped on both.
“It all comes out in ‘The Wash’ Series coming,” DJ Pooh wrote in his tweet.
While further details remain scarce, DJ Pooh previously teased a TV adaptation of The Wash on Instagram in December. “Mr Washington, Face & Slim – #TheWash,” he wrote next to a still from the original movie. “The Wash Series Coming Soon!”
Released in November 2001, The Wash starred Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre as car wash employees trying to make rent and avoid eviction from their home. Eminem, Ludacris, Kurupt, Shaquille O’Neal, Xzibit, George Wallace and DJ Pooh also made appearances.
Although critics panned the film, The Wash pulled in more than $10,000,000 at the box office on a $7 million budget. The official soundtrack was also a star-studded affair, boasting original music from the likes of Busta Rhymes, D12, Xzibit, Bilal and Bubba Sparxxx, as well as Snoop and Dre.
The album peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard 200, respectively and has since reportedly sold over 750,000 copies, earning gold certification from the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).
The film’s legacy is still felt more than 20 years later. In 2021, West Coast natives Blxst and Bino Rideaux dropped a video for their track “Movie” inspired by The Wash. In the video, the duo work at a dysfunctional car wash before turning their job into a full performance spot.
Aside from a TV series based on The Wash, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are planning on making a huge splash in 2023. Last year, Snoop announced that he and Dre are reuniting for a new album called Missionary, which will serve as the spiritual successor to his 1993 debut Doggystyle, which turns 30 this November.
In an Instagram post last month, Tha Doggfather hinted at the project — or a first single at least — arriving this summer. “Dynamic. Duo,” he wrote next to a throwback photo of him and Dre. “Music comin summer 23.”
