The Beaufort Sequence

"The world's most effective intelligence operative works without a country, a name, or anyone who knows her true face." Film I — Zero Latitude: Operative "Beaufort" surfaces to stop a bioweapons auction. Film II — Parallel Shadow: A doppelganger operation forces her to confront her erased past. Film III — The Last Clean Hand: Betrayed by every institution she protected, she goes fully rogue.

The Orisà Chronicles

"A woman born between worlds — half-human, half-Orisha deity — must unite fractured realms before an ancient war destroys both." Film I — The Threshold: Zara discovers her true lineage. Film II — The Iron River: She journeys through the spirit world. Film III — The Covenant of Ash: Betrayal fractures the alliance. Film IV — The Burning Veil: A sacrifice reshapes the war. Film V — Children of the Infinite: The final battle for both realms.

Sundowner

"Two estranged sisters reunite at their dying father's vineyard in South Africa — and excavate the lies that shaped them." Imani returns to the Stellenbosch valley after a decade of silence, summoned by her father's terminal diagnosis. Her younger sister Lena never left — and has spent ten years absorbing every weight Imani abandoned. Set across five golden harvest days, Sundowner is a quiet demolition of family mythology and the grace that can survive it.

The Glass Meridian

"A forensic linguist realizes the serial killer she's profiling is using her own published research as a murder blueprint." Dr. Naomi Vale is the world's leading expert in criminal semiotics — the hidden language of killers. When a string of cryptographically staged murders surfaces in Miami, she's pulled in by the FBI. The killer's calling cards quote, almost verbatim, passages from her doctoral thesis. As the line between analyst and target dissolves, Naomi must decide whether she's chasing a monster — or a mirror.

Mirage & Honey

"A supermodel abandons her Paris life to trace her grandmother's footsteps across Senegal — and falls dangerously in love with a man who may not exist." Celeste Beaumont, once the face of European luxury fashion, vanishes from the runway circuit after discovering a decades-old letter in her late grandmother's estate. Following cryptic clues across Dakar, Saint-Louis, and the Saloum Delta, she encounters the enigmatic Thierno — a river guide whose knowledge of local myths is unsettlingly precise. As their bond deepens beneath the Senegalese sun, Celeste begins to question whether Thierno is a man, a spirit, or the very longing she's been carrying her whole life.

SALT & LIGHTNING

New York City, 1928. RUBY SALT is the most celebrated jazz vocalist in Harlem — and she has just received a letter from the Mississippi town she fled at 18, telling her that the man who raped her at 14 is now running for state Senate. SALT & LIGHTNING tracks Ruby over seven weeks: her decision about whether to return and testify, the friendships that sustain her, the lover she has been hiding, and the music she pours all of it into. Intimate and devastating, the show has a 12-piece live jazz orchestra onstage throughout.

GODDESS

Rome, 73 CE. NAEVIA — a Nubian woman enslaved and trained as a gladiator — has survived 23 bouts. The Senate has decreed her 24th will be her last: she will face three opponents simultaneously in the Colosseum, and this time the crowd will not be permitted to grant mercy. What the Senate doesn't know: Naevia has been quietly building a network of enslaved gladiators for five years, and the 24th bout is the distraction. GODDESS is a visceral, muscular musical — physically extraordinary in its choreography — about one woman refusing the story written for her. The score is operatic rock fused with ancient Mediterranean tonalities.

SOVEREIGN

Set in a fictional West African coastal kingdom in 1620, SOVEREIGN follows QUEEN ADAEZE — a military commander who is crowned after the sudden death of the king — as she navigates palace betrayal, a Portuguese trading alliance that masks a slaving operation, and a forbidden love with her head of guard, YEMI. The score blends Afrobeats, gospel, classical African percussion, and sweeping orchestral balladry. There are 22 songs, including the showstopping second-act opener "I Was Made For This" and the devastating duet "The Sea Between Us." SOVEREIGN is designed for a cast of 30, with a set that transforms from palace to battlefield to ocean.

ECHO

Five women who graduated together from a small Atlanta conservatory are brought back together when their sixth member — LEILA ASHTON — is found dead under mysterious circumstances. Each episode is told from one woman's perspective, and each tells a completely different version of the same night, 15 years ago, that changed all of their lives. SINCLAIR JAMES, 38, is the thread — the one whose memory is the least trustworthy and who is simultaneously the investigation's most crucial witness and its prime suspect.

MOUNT OLYMPUS, GEORGIA

The fictional town of Olympus, Georgia (pop. 4,800) exists for one reason: the Marbleton Correctional Facility. When a federal audit closes Marbleton overnight, the town loses 60% of its economy. This is the story of six women — a guard, an administrator, a caterer, a chaplain, a nurse, and a former inmate — who have to decide what their town becomes next. Led by JOSEPHINE 'JO' MARBLETON, the disgraced granddaughter of the facility's founder, the women form an unlikely coalition. Wry, sad, and occasionally riotous — this is a show about what communities owe each other.

THE FIRST FOURTEEN

ATTORNEY DIANA CROSS, 39, takes on a case everyone told her to refuse: defending a 22-year-old Black man accused of murdering a police officer in Memphis — on bodycam footage that the prosecution claims is unambiguous. Diana knows the footage was edited. She has 14 days before the trial begins to prove it, navigate a city on the edge of riots, survive two attempts on her life, and keep her client — who is concealing a truth that could save or destroy him — honest with her. THE FIRST FOURTEEN is a pressure-cooker legal thriller told in real time across 14 days.

KINGDOM OF SALT

IMARA SALT, 32, inherited the Gulf Coast's most dangerous narcotics network from her murdered father at age 24. Over five seasons, the series tracks her from ruthless consolidation of power (S1–2) through a reckoning with the human cost (S3) to a desperate attempt to build an exit for herself and her daughter while dismantling the empire from within (S4–5). KINGDOM OF SALT is a Black female Breaking Bad — meticulous, operatic, and completely uninterested in redemption arcs that aren't earned through blood and consequence.

OBSIDIAN

CELESTE DUPONT, 38, is the third-generation owner of Dupont's Boulangerie on Magazine Street — and the covert director of OBSIDIAN, a private intelligence network her grandmother founded during the Cold War. Operating with no government allegiance and a ruthless ethical code, Celeste brokers information that prevents wars, topples corrupt regimes, and occasionally ends careers. The CIA, MI6, and Mossad all want her assets. Her ex-husband wants custody of their son. And someone inside OBSIDIAN is selling their sources. Season 1 establishes the world. Season 2 burns it. Season 3 rebuilds from ash.

TITAN

JADE SOLOMON, starting at age 17, is an impossibly gifted but raw young woman from Waycross, Georgia — brilliant, furious, and poor. TITAN follows her rise across four seasons: discovering combat sports, navigating a predatory sports industry, building a team who believes in her, and eventually claiming a world title — but at devastating personal costs. Each season covers roughly 3 years of her life, aging Jade from 17 to 29. The series is unflinching about the racism, sexism, and exploitation of the sports industry, and equally unflinching about Jade's own flaws: her rage, her perfectionism, her terror of vulnerability.

THE ATLAS PROTOCOL

Film I — ATLAS RISING: DR. NOVA BANKS, 36, lead architect of ATLAS — the world's most advanced neural defense AI — discovers a rogue nation has activated a back-door she coded in years ago under duress. She goes dark, rebuilding ATLAS offline with the help of a team of outlaws across three continents. Film II — ATLAS FALLEN: With the rogue ATLAS weaponized and cities going dark, Nova must literally enter the system via experimental neural interface — existing simultaneously in the real world and inside ATLAS's architecture — to destroy what she built. The cost is her own memory.

THE DAUGHTERS OF FIRE

Film I — THE FIRST EMBER (set 1340 CE): ADESOLA, 22, a warrior-priestess of the Yoruba coast, discovers she carries the Flame Mark — an ancient physical power that makes her invincible in combat but slowly burns her alive. She must unite rival kingdoms before the Mark consumes her. Film II — DAUGHTERS OF ASH (set 1888 CE): KEMI ADEYEMI, 28, Adesola's great-great-granddaughter, is a Dahomey Agojie warrior in the final resistance against French colonial forces. She carries a diluted but awakening version of the Flame Mark. Film III — EMBERS NOW (set 2041 CE): ZARA ADEYEMI, 19, a synthetic biology student in Lagos Megacity, is the first descendant to carry the full Flame Mark in 700 years — as a corporate bio-weapons firm wants to harvest it from her living body.

IRONBARK

SERGEANT NOVA PRICE, 31, an Aboriginal-American liaison officer posted to remote Queensland, is tasked with tracking down WILLA TAKAHE — a fugitive accused of burning down a mining corporation's regional headquarters. But as Nova closes in across 800 miles of red desert, she finds the corporate land-theft story is far more sinister than arson. Willa wasn't a criminal — she was the only witness. IRONBARK is a slow-burn neo-western about two women circling each other across a landscape that has its own memory, building to an alliance that reshapes both their lives.

STORM PROTOCOL

JADE CROSS, 34, a former black ops specialist with the physique of a goddess and ice in her veins, has been living quietly in rural Georgia for six years — until her 9-year-old daughter AMARA is abducted by SPECTRA, the shadow intelligence agency Jade helped build. With nothing but her combat training, a stolen SUV, and a contact list of burned operatives, Jade launches a one-woman war across four continents. As she peels back the conspiracy, she discovers her daughter wasn't taken — she was recruited, because AMARA has inherited her mother's genetic anomaly: superhuman physical resilience. The film is equal parts brutal action-thriller and devastating mother-daughter story.

WORLDBREAKER

"He did not choose the strength. The strength chose him." Marine biologist DR. THERON KADE is exposed to a classified gamma-isotope during a deep-sea breach. Now he transforms under extreme stress into a 9-foot titan of destructive force called THE WORLDBREAKER. He must find a cure — while governments and a rogue scientist want to weaponize him.

THE OBSIDIAN SHROUD

"Six episodes. One city. A thousand secrets." Street-level thriller. VESPER NYX, a disgraced intelligence operative with an ability to suppress and absorb kinetic energy, wages a one-woman war against the Obsidian Shroud — a criminal syndicate trafficking in stolen super-soldier research. Set in the rain-soaked port city of Halverton.
