Snoop Dogg and his Snoopadelic Films banner have signed on to executive produce a Sherlock Holmes reimagining in the works at Alcon Television.

Adapted from the series of crime novels by Joe Ide, “IQ” centers on Isaiah Quintabe, a brilliant 26-year old African American private eye from East Long Beach whose local reputation earned him the nickname IQ. Isaiah’s Watson is Juanell Dodson, a semi-reformed East Side Crip who re-enters IQ’s life with a big payday case.

“House of Lies” duo Matthew Carnahan and Theo Travers will serve as creators and executive producers on the series. Deon Taylor is attached to direct. No network is attached.
