Production Has Begun On The Starz
Original Series Survivor's Remorse

Survivors Remorse Mike Epps
As the digital transition beds in, the interactivity between the different platforms continues to intertwine, stars of popular games such as basketball are capitalizing on their popularity to strengthen their appeal to their core audience.

Set in Atlanta, production has began on The Starz Original Series Survivor's Remorse, the six-episode first season of the half-hour scripted comedy series from LeBron James, Tom Werner, Mike O'Malley, Maverick Carter, Victor Levin and Paul Wachter.

The cast of Survivors Remorse is led by Jessie T. Usher, in the role of Cam Calloway; Ronreaco Lee, as Reggie Vaughn; Erica Ash, as M-Chuck, the sister of Cam Calloway; and Tichina Arnold as Cassie, Cam's mother. They join Teyonah Parris who is cast as Reggie's wife Missy and Mike Epps as Cam's Uncle Julius. The story follows Cam Calloway, a basketball phenom in his early 20's, who is suddenly thrust into the limelight after signing a multi-million dollar contract with a professional basketball team, and explores the comedy and drama of an experience that everyone reads about, but few understand - what happens when you make it out. Cam Calloway, along with his cousin and confidant Reggie Vaughn, move to Georgia to start Cam's journey to success. The two confront the challenges of carrying opportunistic family members and their strong ties to the impoverished community that they come from. Cam, Reggie and an unforgettable group of characters wrestle with the rewards and pitfalls of stardom, love and loyalty.

The series will premiere on STARZ in the fall of 2014.

Starz will retain all domestic and international multiplatform rights including television, home entertainment, and digital.
