Tomorrow
Annie Warbucks and Agatha Hannigan, two names forever connected by events that made one of them the richest girl in the world…and sent the other to prison.
Tomorrow is an original, scripted series set in a post-pandemic New York City, five years after “little orphan” Annie was adopted by billionaire Oliver Warbucks (Lance Reddick, The Wire, Fringe). Now 15, Annie (Abbie Grace Levi), a singer-songwriter/influencer extraordinaire, is about to face the biggest test of her signature positivity when a mystery rocks the Warbucks empire. Annie must rely on her pals from the orphanage, Molly, Tessie and Pepper, and her artificial intelligence “butler” Drake (Alan Ruck, Succession) to save her family.
Agatha Hannigan (Tony Award winner Laura Benanti) has spent five years in prison, revisiting her bad choices and stewing about the billionaire and his adopted daughter who put her behind bars. Finally released back into society, Hannigan will have to decide: Does she want to turn her life around, or does she want revenge?
From Gen-Z Media, creators of the Peabody Award-winning The Unexplainable Disappearance of Mars Patel and the hit family podcast, Six Minutes, Tomorrow combines the heart, humor and hope of the original stage play with elements of serialized mystery and high stakes adventure. Featuring fresh takes on beloved songs and a star-studded cast, it’s a modern story for all the many generations who grew up on “Annie.”
Based on story and characters from the musical “Annie” by Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin and Thomas Meehan.

When desecrated corpses begin appearing in a small town in New Mexico, a seasoned state police detective, his eager new partner, and a begrudging spiritual healer reopen a hate crime investigation to fight the unnatural presence hellbent on vengeance.
The Unnatural puts a contemporary twist on the classic “creepy small town” trope by putting you in the shoes of two very different detectives as they investigate twisted and demonic murders that threaten the towns safety. They enlist the help of a curandera, or spiritual healer, to understand and ultimately fight the unnatural presence. Along the way they will uncover truths about the town and its people that have been buried for decades. Set in the real town of Las Vegas, New Mexico, this is a terrifying story about truth, love, and the choices we make everyday.
