The Screener

2026 · 1 season

A wry, fast-talking satire of Hollywood egos and legal panic, where a small leak spirals into a tense, absurd office farce.

Tagline: Los Angeles v. Hollywood
Overview: Wary of sending out digital links, an independent filmmaker presents her latest film to a talent agency in their private screening room. When it inevitably leaks, a frantic cover-up begins, until the district attorney decides to prosecute the agency as a white-collar crime syndicate. As the office builds its case, everyone involved becomes a witness… or a potential defendant.
How it feels: Satirical, tense, cynical and absurd. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Corruption, media, crime, deception
Content: Strong language. Mild sexual content. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
