Four recent law school graduates clerk for the Supreme Court, navigating life and love while confronting the toughest cases of their generation.  As any young lawyer knows, clerking for a Supreme Court Justice could make or break your career before it even begins. Tensions are already high as four very different candidates vie for the highly coveted positions, their reasons for being there informed by their backgrounds— and personal baggage. But as they tackle case after case, each more difficult and emotional than the last, the clerks realize the Court must reckon with an internal threat if justice is to be truly served. First Street is a Realm production, created by Catherine McKenzie and written by Catherine McKenzie, Jasmine Guillory, Elyssa Friedland, Shawn Klomparens, Randy Susan Meyers, and Kermit Roosevelt III.

    This week, we would like to introduce you to America 2.0, a new show distributed by Realm. In the opener, we meet first term Congressman Seth McGuire, who's embroiled in a terrible PR disaster. He interacts mostly with his chief of staff, Olivia Huff and his assistant, Gita Subramanium, both of whom are way more politically savvy, and try to counsel him into “playing the game.” Beat down and disheartened, Seth is at the end of his rope. But the lightning of inspiration strikes when he's least expecting it – while listening to right-wing talk radio. Directed by J S Mayank. Written by J S Mayank & David Carlyle. Produced by J S Mayank, David Carlyle, Jeremy Gordon, Spencer Garrett. Cast: Patrick J Adams, Autumn Reeser, Lorien Haynes, Kalpana Pot, Mark Atteberry, Katherine Castra, Dana Bash, and Ming-Na Wen.

    This week, we would like to introduce you to Bookburners, a new show from Realm created by Max Gladstone. Magic is real. And it's dangerous. It's locked in books and relics imbued with power. But sometimes, whether by accident or by design, magic escapes and wreaks havoc upon the world. That's when Team Three is deployed—known by their enemies as: The Bookburners. Tasked with identifying and neutralizing magical threats anywhere in the world, the Bookburners are a cohort of special investigators from wildly different walks of life—a New York City detective, a Guatemalan priest, an indestructible woman from China, a techno-occultist from Ireland, and an inquisitive scholar from the Ivory Coast. But each member of the Bookburners bears the scars of their own past magical trauma. What that means for the team, as they face horrors that threaten their sanity and their very lives, will cause them each to question their mission… and their faith in one another.
