<p id=”par-3_40″><em>Jaq </em>will focus on Jaq Lawrence, a high-ranking member of the Summerhouse gang played by Jasmine Jobson. Jobson will return in the six-episode series that will explore Jaq’s story beyond Summerhouse. <em>Jaq </em>is created and written by Ryan Calais Cameron.</p>
<p id=”par-4_17″>“Can finally say it!!” Jobson shared on her <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/jasminejobson/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a> Story after the announcement. “We got our show!!!!!”</p>
<p id=”par-5_12″>“Lock up your Mrs cos I’m coming back,” she captioned another post. </p>
<p id=”par-6_126″>In the <em>Top Boy </em>finale, Jaq was one of the few people to emerge unscathed (relatively speaking). After deciding to walk away from the drug game following the devastating death of her sister, Lauryn, Jaq stole drugs from Sully (Kane “Kano” Robinson) with the goal of setting up a new life for herself, her girlfriend, and her nephew. Dushane (Ashley Walters) then stole the drugs for himself, triggering a deadly showdown between him and Sully. Sully killed Dushane, and then an unseen assailant shot Sully in the back of the head. While the shooter’s face wasn’t seen, some speculated it might have been Jaq, who had a strong motive to take out Sully and had told her girlfriend Becks (Adwoa Aboah) that “Everything’s gonna be okay.”</p>
