Emmy winner Colman Domingo is set to star in the thriller limited series ‘The Headlands House,’ which has landed at Netflix for development in a competitive situation. The project marks an expansion into third-party production for AMC Studios, which had previously developed and produced content for its own platforms.

According to a report, ‘The Headlands House’ is written and executive produced by Cameron B. Dupont, who is also managed by Echo Lake Entertainment and repped by Ryan & Jesse Nord of The Nord Group. The series follows a gay couple who moves into their dream home, only to discover that its prior residents were brutally murdered on the property—and that their own lives may now be in danger, too.

Colman Domingo, who is repped by WME, Liebman Entertainment, and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham, will star in ‘The Headlands House,’ which he is also executive producing alongside Raúl Domingo for their Edith Productions. Patrick Moran, who executive produces the USA Network series ‘The Rainmaker,’ will also be on board as an executive producer via his PKM Productions.

This marks Domingo’s third series for Netflix, where he has already headlined the 2024 limited series ‘The Madness’ and starred in the comedy series ‘The Four Seasons,’ which has earned him two Emmy nominations for the two seasons to date. His relationship with Netflix also spans film, including his Oscar-nominated performance in ‘Rustin,’ as well as ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,’ and the upcoming ‘An Innocent Girl.’

The Headlands House signals an expansion into third-party production for AMC Studios, which AMC Global Media CEO Kristin Dolan alluded to on the company’s most recent earnings call. ‘In addition to creating programming for our own platforms, our studio team is actively developing projects with a range of leading distributors,’ she said.

AMC Studios had previously developed and produced Apple TV’s ‘Silo’ before Apple Studios took over the big-budget sci-fi drama after Season 1. Edith Productions, led by Colman and Raúl Domingo, has produced a range of projects, including ‘Sing Sing,’ ‘It’s What’s Inside,’ ‘Dead Man’s Wire,’ the animated short film ‘New Moon,’ ‘North Star,’ ‘When My Sleeping Dragon Woke,’ ‘Bottomless Brunch at Colman’s,’ and Season 1 of ‘You are Here’ for AMC Networks.

Patrick Moran, who executive produces the USA Network series ‘The Rainmaker,’ has a first-look deal at Amazon, where he is developing the series ‘Genuine Fraud,’ starring The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Rain Spencer. He is also working on ‘Just One Day,’ starring Kathryn Newton, for Hulu.

The project is a significant development for AMC Studios, which has been expanding its reach beyond its own platforms. ‘The Headlands House’ is a testament to the company’s commitment to creating high-quality content that resonates with audiences.
