The Network is a U.S.-based streaming platform supported by advertisements. It offers a mix of original content and acquired productions. Writer and director Aram Rappaport established The Network to distribute his series, The Green Veil, which had not been picked up by other platforms.[1] In May 2024, The Network debuted in the U.S., supported by BH Media Holdings.[2] The Network plans to release two new titles every quarter.[3][4]
History
[edit]The service launched with two titles, The Green Veil and Chivalry.[5] In September 2024, it added Kingdom of Dreams and partnered with Comcast to offer The Green Veil ad-free exclusively for Comcast customers for National Hispanic Heritage Month.[6]
The Network's first produced original, The Green Veil, starred John Leguizamo and was written and directed by Aram Rappaport. The historical fiction series follows Leguizamo as Gordon Rogers, a United States government agent and Latin immigrant obsessed with the American Dream. [4][7] The series was inspired by the government programs designed to remove Native American children from their communities and place them in white families. [7] The Green Veil was renewed for a second season in June 2024.[4]
In November, 2024 Variety announced The Network is in production on The Artist, a Gilded Age murder mystery series starring Mandy Patinkin, Janet McTeer and Danny Huston. [8]
