"The New", a Noir/Sci-fi Series By Miranda Spigener-Sapon, “Which side will you choose?"

By Laura Medina



Its a sci-fi series produced by M3 Literary Management and in association with Noirtainment,  created and developed it for TV.   


Its a sci-fi series set in a post-apocalyptic/dystopian world   The last Black-Ops CIA agent on earth, Jerry along with his old friend Michael, played by Andrew Flores (known for co-starring on the hit USA series Queen of the South) are tasked in delivering a package to a mysterious group of entities known only as The OL. Jerry, played by Bernard Robichaud (known for playing Cyrus on the hit Netflix Original Series Trailer Park Boys and recurring in the SyFy series Haven) is reluctant to do this task, but he wants to find his missing daughter Erin (played by Lindsay Foster. This Mini-series had to halt principal photography due to the COVID19 Pandemic and is set to resume production once its cleared and the pilot will debut sometime in 2021.  


Bernard Robichaud on Jerry “ A Special Agent with a mission, and nothing will get in the way of that, his daughters love, while trying to save the World from a mysterious totalitarian life force. He calls him, “a  Special Agent with a mission, and nothing will get in the way of that, his daughters love, while trying to save the World from a mysterious totalitarian life force.”

Miranda Spigener-Sapon, calls him, "a hardened highly trained black ops cia spook." 

Andrew Flores on Michael “ Micheal is a happy go lucky type of guy.  He comes off being a tough badass but in reality , he is sensitive and kind, and the type to walk little old ladies cross the street." 

Miranda calls him, "a former college friend of jerry who joins him in the task." 

Lindsay Foster’s quote on preparing to play Erin, Jerry’s missing daughter “Erin is smart and fiercely independent, like her father, who after her mother passed came back into the picture. Although they don’t show it, they have an unconditional love and appreciation each other; however, Jerry’s over protective tendencies clash with Erin’s desire for freedom. This need for autonomy during unstable, dystopian times results in her disappearance, maybe she should have listened to her father and stayed home after all."

On describing Erin, Miranda hints of what might be coming, "Erin, Jerry’s 19/20 year old daughter who after an innocent night with her best friend turned out missing  (Michaels daughter who turned up dead) and Erin's love interest Cameron (also missing)."



According to Miranda Spigener-Sapon, the creator behind "The New," she calls " It’s sci-fi noir in the vein of David Lynch's Lost Highway meets "Total Recall" (the reboot 2012 version) with elements of "Black Mirror." 

"The series is called the new with the pilot titled the task episode 2 is the climatic titled “level 99” and the third  is titled “welcome to wherever you are”

Laurie Foxx, an actor in the bi-polar drama, "Lifelines," also wrote and composed the music for "The New."
