‘Dope Thief’
This crime drama follows Ray (Brian Tyree Henry), a small-time crook from Philadelphia who, along with his friend Manny (Wagner Moura), poses as a DEA agent to rob drug dealers. Their scheme takes a dangerous turn when they accidentally shake up a major narcotics scheme. As you can imagine, this isn't exactly great news for the pair as they're then forced to navigate a world they know basically nothing about. With an ensemble cast including names like Kate Mulgrew and Ving Rhames, the show is also executive produced by Ridley Scott, who also directs the first episode, and is based on Dennis Tafoya's novel of the same name.

‘BE@RBRICK’
Toys may be inanimate objects, but that doesn't mean they can't rock out. Inspired by the iconic collectible BE@RBRICK figures and soundtracked by Grammy winner Timbaland, this animated kids' series follows Jasmine Finch (Brianna Bryan) and her bandmates. They work to challenge society in a world where each bear-shaped vinyl toy's job is predetermined by its painted-on appearance. Determined to change their destinies, Jasmine and her friends head out on a musical journey to inspire others to pursue their dreams.

‘The Studio’
Hollywood is where dreams are made — and often broken. In "The Studio," it's a bit of both. Created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, this comedy offers a satirical look at the inner workings of a struggling Hollywood film studio. Matt Remick (Rogen) is the new head of Continental Studios, who, along with his team of executives, struggle to keep the art of filmmaking alive despite pressure from corporate execs and a dwindling audience that just doesn't seem to care about going to the movies anymore. It's all Matt knows, but in the end, it could very well be the end of his career, movie lover or not.

‘Side Quest'
The "Mythic Quest" universe is set to expand with "Side Quest," a four-episode anthology series that promises a deeper look into the lives of employees, players, and fans influenced by the game, with a series of standalone stories that explore the unique ways their day to day doings are shaped by working on or for the game and its player base.
