Today, Netflix announced the greenlight of Nemesis, the first project from its creative partnership with powerhouse producer and creator, Courtney A. Kemp. Created by Kemp and Tani Marole, the show will film in Los Angeles.
Logline: 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.

Nne Ebong, Vice President, Studio Scripted Series, Netflix: “Viewers are in for a ride with Nemesis, Courtney and Tani's bold take on the crime drama genre. Courtney's shows have proven to dominate culture and conversation, and it's exciting to have this be the first project from our creative partnership."
Courtney A. Kemp: “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.
