Black Canary

Dinah Lance is a meta-human with a voice that can shatter steel. When her mother — the original Black Canary — is framed for the assassination of a Gotham senator, Dinah enters the city's underworld to uncover a conspiracy that runs all the way to the Justice Department. A noir thriller.

Checkmate

Oliver Queen returns from five years on a nightmare island to find his city rotting from the inside. Operating as a vigilante archer, he dismantles Star City's criminal oligarchy while concealing his methods from both enemies and allies. A brutal, grounded espionage-action series.

Kingdom Beneath

Arthur Curry has always been caught between two worlds. When Atlantis declares war on the surface nations for decades of ocean pollution, Arthur must accept his birthright as king — or watch both civilizations destroy each other. An underwater political epic with spectacular aquatic warfare.

Emerald Dawn

Test pilot Hal Jordan is chosen by a dying alien to inherit the most powerful weapon in the universe: a green power ring. Thrust into an intergalactic peacekeeping corps with centuries of history, he must stop a rogue Guardian whose experiments with yellow fear-energy threaten the entire Corps.

The Speed Force

Barry Allen, a CSI analyst in Central City, is struck by a bolt of impossibility. As he learns to harness his speed, a shadowy figure known only as the Reverse begins manipulating time itself — erasing people from the past to reshape the present. A mystery and a chase across the timestream.

Wonder Woman: Clay & Blood

1944. An Amazonian princess breaks the ancient law of isolation and steps into a world torn apart by war. Diana's journey through occupied Europe reshapes her understanding of humanity's capacity for both cruelty and courage. Post-credits: a modern-day Diana watches Superman's televised emergence.

The Bat of Gotham

Told in non-linear fashion across six intimate episodes, this series follows Bruce Wayne's final year of training before donning the cowl — intercut with his first months as Batman as Gotham's crime families fracture in the wake of his emergence. A crime thriller, not a superhero story.

The Last Son

A young farmhand from Smallville, Kansas discovers he is not from this world. When a Kryptonian probe signals Earth's location to deep space, Clark Kent must choose between hiding his nature forever or revealing himself to a terrified humanity. He chooses revelation — and changes history.

THE GOLDEN BOY

Season One opens in Charleston, South Carolina. The Hargrove family is American royalty — a three-generation dynasty that built its fortune in luxury jewelry design, real estate, and high-society philanthropy. Their sprawling antebellum waterfront estate, Hargrove House, is a landmark and a fortress, and at its center sits the patriarch: HAROLD "HANK" HARGROVE, 80 — a towering, deeply traditional man who built everything from nothing and intends to control it until his last breath. Hank's youngest grandson, FORD HARGROVE, 24, has just returned from two years studying abroad in Europe — Paris, Rome, Barcelona — without finishing his degree, without accomplishing much of anything except filling tabloids with his escapades. He drives too fast, parties too hard, and has had a revolving door of women, including a current on-again, off-again girlfriend, PIPER LANGLEY, 26, a sleek, calculating Manhattan socialite who is deeply invested in becoming the next Mrs. Hargrove. Ford isn't in love with her. He isn't sure he's capable of loving anyone. Hank has had enough. He calls Ford into his private study and delivers the ultimatum in that quiet, devastating tone that ends conversations: You will marry a proper girl from Savannah — from a family I respect — or I will remove you from this family entirely. Ford knows his grandfather means it. Ford agrees, believing the marriage will be in name only. He figures he'll do it, smile through the photos, and continue his life exactly as before.

LOVE IN THE SKYLINE

Set against the glittering skyline of Chicago, the series centers on Serena Ayres, 23, a razor-sharp aerospace engineering student from a working-class family, whose college scholarship is suddenly yanked away by a rival's manipulation. With no money, no plan, and a career-defining internship on the line, she makes a deal with the last person she'd ever choose: Ethan Hollis, 32, the devastatingly handsome and glacially cold CEO of Hollis Aerospace Industries. Their agreement: Serena pretends to be his fiancée for six months to manage the optics with investors and silence a meddling family. In exchange, he reinstates her scholarship and secures her internship. Businesslike. Temporary. Totally under control — until it isn't. Through shared spaces, late-night revelations, jealousy, family secrets, and moments neither can explain, a fake love becomes the most real thing either of them has ever known.

VERONA

New York City. Present day. Two families control the city's most powerful real estate empires — the Montagues, rooted in Brooklyn's old money and new media, and the Capulets, whose glass towers define Midtown's skyline. Their rivalry is old, brutal, and deeply personal. Street-level fistfights between their employees and associates have already drawn the attention of the NYPD. One more incident, the mayor warns, and both families lose their operating licenses. Romée Montague (20, she/her) is the youngest daughter of the Montague empire — brilliant, impulsive, haunted by a past heartbreak with a woman named Rosie that left her cold and directionless. Her cousin Benny is her best friend, her protector, and her wildest accomplice. To shake Romée out of her funk, Benny drags her, disguised, into a glamorous Capulet rooftop gala. There, Romée sees Jules Capulet (18, he/him) — understated, quietly beautiful, with a sharp wit he keeps carefully hidden from his overbearing mother. They speak. They dance. They don't know each other's names until it's already too late. What follows is five breathless days and nights across the city: secret rooftop meetings, a midnight elopement arranged by Friar Lena (a progressive community chaplain), a duel in a Bronx parking lot that ends in blood, banishment, a desperate plan, a sleeping drug, a delayed message, and a crypt beneath an old Brooklyn cathedral where everything unravels. VERONA does not try to save them. It asks why — in a city of eight million people, with every resource at their fingertips — two young people still chose the oldest, most tragic path. And it answers: because the world around them never gave them a real choice.

ELSINORE

The series opens on the funeral of King Vance, CEO and patriarch. His son Hale sits in the back row, hollow-eyed in a wrinkled black suit, watching as mourners shake his uncle Claude's hand like he's already the boss — because he is. Within three weeks of the funeral, Claude has absorbed the company, and within six, he has married Gert in a quiet ceremony that the press calls tasteful and Hale calls unforgivable. Hale has been given a corner office, a generous allowance, and a polite but firm suggestion that he return to finish his MBA. He doesn't. He drinks. He stares at his father's old watch. His best friend Rex Horatio arrives from out of town and stays on the couch. That night, a security guard named Marcus at the Vance Capital building contacts Rex with something strange — the building's after-hours camera footage from the night King Vance died shows a second person in the parking garage. The footage is corrupted. The timestamp is wrong. But the silhouette is unmistakably Claude.

BLOOD & ROSES

BLOOD & ROSES is a modern prestige crime drama set in the sprawling fictional coastal metropolis of Verona City — a place of gleaming high-rises looming over crumbling neighbourhoods, where old money and street power share the same dark handshake. Two criminal organisations — the Montano family and the Capello family — have divided the city's underworld for thirty years, bound by a feud born of betrayal, territory, and blood. The series follows their children: Romeo Montano, a sensitive 19-year-old poet of the streets desperate to break free from his family's violence, and Julietta Capello, a fierce 17-year-old prodigy torn between loyalty to her name and the woman she is becoming. Their collision at a rooftop gala sets off a chain of events — secret vows, duels, murders, banishments, and betrayals — that will reduce two dynasties to rubble and cost the city a price it cannot afford to pay. Tonally, Blood & Roses blends the raw street authenticity of The Wire with the tragic romanticism of classic Italian opera. Every episode mirrors a key event in Shakespeare's original play, recast through the lens of organized crime, political corruption, and the inescapable gravity of inherited hate.

THE ANOINTED

Season 1 — "The Kingdom Begins" Josian emerges in the Lowside. His early miracles (healing a paralyzed man at a free clinic, restoring sight during a street confrontation, turning a near-empty food pantry into a feast for hundreds). He assembles the Twelve. John Rivers baptizes him publicly in the industrial canal. The Sanhedron Council begins watching. John Rivers is arrested. Josian weeps publicly. Season 2 — "The Plot Thickens" Josian's movement goes city-wide. The resurrection of Lazarus Wade triggers political crisis. Josian's triumphant walk through the Crossroads (modern Palm Sunday — thousands flooding the street, coats thrown down). The Last Supper — filmed in real time, in one restaurant, over two full episodes. Josian washes feet. Judas leaves. The garden scene in the city park at 3 AM. Arrest. Trial before Kaiaphas. Caius Pontiff on live television. The sentence. Season 3 — "Death & What Comes After" The execution (filmed with unflinching restraint — not exploitation, but weight). The three days. Magdalena at the tomb at dawn. The appearances. Thomas's moment. The ascension from a rooftop as the sun rises over New Elysia — Josian stepping backward off the edge of a building and simply not falling, rising, gone. Final scene: the Twelve and Magdalena, terrified and electric, beginning to move.

FIRE & THUNDER

Season 1 — "No Rain" New Canaan City hasn't had a real rainstorm in nearly three years. Meteorologists call it a climate anomaly. Mayor Victor Bahl calls it an opportunity — water scarcity has made his family's infrastructure holdings worth billions. Only Eli Stone, 40s, a weathered, hawk-faced former civil rights lawyer turned street minister, insists it is something else: a reckoning. When he publicly declares before news cameras that "not a drop falls on this city until this house of corruption is torn down," he becomes overnight mockery — and overnight threat. The Bahls, led by the iron-willed Queen Isabeau Bahl, begin a systematic campaign to erase him. Season 2 — "The Prophets of Aharon" A forced showdown at the city's great civic arena — the Mount Karmel Stadium — between Eli and 450 of Isabeau's most powerful spiritual and political allies. A public contest of legitimacy. The fire that follows changes everything. But victory unmoors Eli in ways defeat never could. He flees into the desert outside the city, alone, suicidal, and utterly spent. Season 3 — "Still Small Voice" Eli's restoration in the wilderness. A mysterious figure — only ever called The Quiet One — feeds him, tends to him, and speaks to him in a voice that is barely above a whisper and yet fills the space entirely. Eli is given a commission he doesn't want and sent back to the city with new names on his lips: enemies to face and a successor to find. Season 4 — "The Vineyard" The Bahls' most brutal act yet — the judicial murder of an innocent man, Nathan Benet, for a plot of land Isabeau covets. Eli confronts Victor directly. The city begins to crack from within. Season 5 — "Ascending" Eli's final days. He moves through the city for the last time, anointing his successor Elias-Two (called simply Two), and walking toward something no camera can capture and no witness can fully explain. The rain finally comes.

VOW OF STEEL

"Vow of Steel" is a gritty, high-octane action-drama set in the near-future city of Zorah. The story follows Samson Vance, a 24-year-old powerhouse who works as a bouncer at a dive bar owned by his father, Manoah. Samson possesses immense physical strength granted by his connection to "The Source," a dormant divine energy that flows through his body, activated specifically when he keeps his hair uncut—a ritualistic vow he honors with religious fervor.

Casting Shadows

"Casting Shadows" follows the journey of Darius Kane, a 35-year-old Black actor who has unexpectedly become Hollywood’s go-to choice for roles that were traditionally written for white male leads. From action-packed blockbusters to romantic comedies to high-concept sci-fi epics, Darius lands roles that come with enormous expectations, rampant criticism, and systemic racism. The irony? Every project he stars in becomes a commercial and critical success, making him a phenomenon in the entertainment industry. The show explores Darius’ resilience as he navigates the backlash, confronts Hollywood stereotypes, and redefines what it means to be a leading man. Blending humor, heartfelt moments, and sharp social commentary, "Casting Shadows" takes a hilarious yet poignant look at race, representation, and the entertainment industry in a way that’s never been done before.

LONG WAY HOME

After a disastrous corporate war in the rival metropolis of Troy Towers, disgraced strategist Owen Dias must navigate a perilous urban landscape—facing corrupt power brokers, seductive influencers, and criminal kingpins—to return to his family in Ithaca Heights. Guided by the enigmatic Athena Wise and pursued by vengeful forces, Owen’s odyssey is told through electrifying songs and unforgettable characters, each echoing the mythic trials of old.

When Greer learns that the invitation is to spend the half term weekend at the country manor of Henry de Warlencourt, the most popular and wealthy boy at STAGS, she is as surprised as she is flattered.
