STARZ has announced a three-year script-to-series commitment for a new Ava DuVernay romantic drama. Lauren Ridloff and Joshua Jackson are set to star and executive produce.
The 2023 untitled series will follow "two polar opposites who become intertwined in a love affair that turns their worlds - and those of everyone around them - upside down.
The half-hour drama will chronicle what it takes to fall and stay in a radical, rebellious love. One person is ambitious, while the other is restless. One is ready to commit, while the other debates the merits of relationships. One is Black and one is white. One is deaf and one is not. Though wildly different, the two are emotionally and physically drawn to each other despite personal expectations and public assumptions. Their attraction passionately disrupts notions of race, gender, class, physical ability, and normative culture, elevating to true love that surpasses difference."
Lauren and Joshua previously starred opposite each other in Broadway’s Children of a Lesser God.
