‘Nemesis’ Trailer Revealed: Everything We Know So Far About Netflix’s New Crime Drama
If you’ve been dying for a new crime drama to get the blood pumping, you’re in luck. Courtney A. Kemp, creator of the Starz Power Universe, is about to bring his talents to Nemesis for Netflix.
Co-created with Tani Marole and starring Matthew Law and Y’lan Noel, the crime thriller is the first series in a new creative partnership between Kemp and the streaming service. “Tani and I are excited to bring a hard-hitting psychological crime drama to Netflix, specific in location but broad in universal themes of right and wrong, love and loss, and loyalty vs. self-preservation,” Kemp said.
If Nemesis is anything like Kemp’s previous work with Power, we can expect lots of action and complicated character dynamics. Here is a rundown of what to expect from the upcoming series, including plot, casting, and premiere date.
When does Nemesis premiere?
The show will premiere with all eight one-hour episodes on Thursday, May 14.
What is Nemesis about?
The official description for the series tells us, “Nemesis is the story of two men on either side of the law, the tale of what happens when an unstoppable force (an expert criminal) meets an immovable object (a brilliant police detective). What starts as a series that aims to subvert the heist genre at every turn, amped with thrilling life-or-death stakes, family dynamics and explosive action, actually gives birth to an exploration of what drives us, sustains us, and ultimately destroys us.”
