created by Johnathan Brown as Lightwood Studios’ inaugural production.
The series follows the personal growth of three college roommates–Jordan
Cooper (Brown), Kendall Wood, and Channing Parker (Kaden Russell)–as
they navigate modern-day dating. Niam Kothari, Rita Kibicho, and Van
Adamson-Thompson also star as students of the fictional Evander University.
The series premiered on Lightwood’s YouTube channel on March 11, 2022 after an
in-house screening at the Mary Lou Williams Center;
though an entire season was developed, to date, only the pilot has aired.
Development on the series coincided with the conception of Lightwood,
dating back to Spring of 2021. The show’s content and title refer to a lack of
queer Black visibility, within both contemporary social models for dating,
and television itself. After the establishment of a writer’s room that Fall,
principal photography took place across Chapel Hill, North Carolina in
February of 2022.
