The plot of "Wu-Tang: An American Saga" Season 3 continued to track the group's progress from crime and neighborhood antics to full-blown megastars. According to Hulu's official plot synopsis, the group is coming off the success of their debut album, but now, they've got new challenges in their way. As the synopsis reads, "While each of the members go on separate journeys to figure out where they fit in the music world, RZA struggles to stay on top of things in order to fulfill the promise he made to his Wu brothers. As money, fame, ego, and business threaten to tear the group apart, they must find a way to come together and cement their legacy."
Set in the wake of Wu-Tang Clan's blockbuster, game-changing debut album, Season 3 found the collective basking in the glow of success but fearful for the future, wondering about their next moves and struggling to decide what to do next, both as a group and as individual musicians. As the newly proclaimed "standard bearers of hip-hop," Wu-Tang looked to stay at the top of the music world and carve out a legacy while also considering evolving and keeping up with what's new. Part of that "Wu takeover," or five-year plan for Wu world domination, involved recording another album that took up too much time, money, and effort, as well as major personal problems, just two of the stressors that can make success such a double-edged sword.
