Nemesis is described as an action heist series in the vein of Power, but set and filmed in Los Angeles, and centers on “two men on either side of the law, the tale of what happens when an unstoppable force (an expert criminal), Coltrane Wilder (Noel), meets an immovable object (a brilliant police detective), Isaiah Stiles (Law). 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.”

Also set to star in the series are Power alums Domenick Lombardozzi and Jonnie Park, plus Cleopatra Coleman, Tre Hale and Ariana Guerrera, who will all serve as series regulars.

Domenick will play Dave Cerullo; Jonnie is Chris Choi, the crew’s getaway driver; Cleopatra will be Coltrane Wilder’s wife, Ebony; and Tre will portray Coltrane’s right-hand man Darren “Stro” Stroman.

“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,” Courtney shared in a statement. “We are grateful to Bela, Peter, Jinny and Nne for their support, keeping this production in Los Angeles and getting local crews back to work.”

Courtney will serve as showrunner and executive producer. Tani will also executive produce, along with Chris Selak and Philipp Barnett. Mario Van Peebles will direct and EP the first two episodes!
