They Left Us to Die
Series · 2026 · MANSA Studio
Thirty-episode vertical zombie microdrama. When a man-made plague turns the dead against the living and the government seals off the poorest wards of Los Angeles, South L.A. emergency room nurse Imani Cross learns her blood is the only cure, and is hunted by the state, the biotech firm behind the plague and a walled enclave of the rich. Made with generative AI: characters and environments are digitally created, with no live actors, under the creative direction of MANSA, the studio co-founded by David Oyelowo and Nate Parker, and cut by professional editors. MANSA calls it a way to test the story with audiences before a possible live-action version.
