The Network is an American ad-supported subscription video on-demand streaming service and production company that consists both of original productions and acquisitions from other studios. It was founded by writer and director Aram Rappaport to release his show The Green Veil after no other outlet would pick up the show for a full series.[1] The service launched in the United States in May of 2024 with backing from BH Media Holdings.[2] Unlike other streaming services, The Network is planned to only release two titles each quarter.[3][4]
Titles
[edit]The service launched with two titles, The Green Veil and Chivalry.[5] It added Kingdom of Dreams in September of 2024. Also in September of 2024, The Network partnered with Comcast to offer The Green Veil ad-free exclusively for Comcast customers for National Hispanic Heritage Month.[6]
The Network's first produced original, The Green Veil, starred John Leguizamo and was written and directed by Aram Rappaport. The historical fiction series follows Leguizamo as Gordon Rogers, an United States government agent and Latin immigrant obsessed with the American Dream. [4][7] The series was inspired by the government programs designed to remove Native American children from their communities and place them in white families. [7] The Green Veil was renewed for a second season in June of 2024.[4]
