Netflix's Nemesis Debuts in Top 3 as Courtney Kemp Maps 2 More Seasons

7 articles · Updated · Deadline · May 18
  • All eight first-season episodes of Nemesis landed Thursday and quickly pushed the Los Angeles crime drama into Netflix’s Top 3 TV rankings.
  • Courtney A. Kemp said Netflix’s binge-driven completion metrics shaped the eight-episode structure, with each ending designed to force an immediate next-episode click rather than a weeklong cliffhanger.
  • Kemp said she can already see two more seasons, with future storylines continuing to intertwine thief Coltrane Wilder, LAPD detective Isiah Stiles and their families.
  • The co-creator also framed the series as a bid to keep production in Los Angeles, highlighting Black L.A. neighborhoods on screen and saying the show brought local crew jobs back after fires disrupted the area.
