Everything we know about Netflix's upcoming series

Netflix’s The Corps is a series that we think everyone is going to love. Allow us to tell you why!

Not only does the upcoming title feature 13 Reasons Whystar Miles Heizer and The Conjuring actress Vera Farmiga, two talented actors that never fail to deliver exceptional performances on screen, but the Netflix original series also has a compelling plot, telling the story of what people are willing to do to live their lives as unapologetically and equally as others.

Without further ado, here’s everything to know about The Corps!

The Corps follows the life of Cameron Cope (Heizer), a gay teenager who joins the Marine Corps despite the organization being against LGBTQ+ individuals enlisting. He enlists as an act of rebellion against his mother, Barbara Cope (Farmiga), who often holds him back because of her intense and unlikable personality. But in making such a drastic decision to learn more about himself, is Cameron putting himself in a dangerous predicament? Or will being his authentic self teach the Marine Corps a thing or two about why it’s imperative to let go of such problematic ideals?

Learn more about the synopsis below (via Netflix):

"Set in 1990, The Corps is about Cameron, a bullied, gay high school student who joins the Marine Corps with his straight best friend, Ray — a dangerous move when being gay in the military meant jail time or worse. As these two friends plunge into Marine Corps boot camp, where the landmines are both literal and metaphorical, they join a platoon of young men on a harrowing journey of transformation."

This story will be told in 10 episodes, headed by executive producers Andy Parker, Norman Lear, Brent Miller, Rachel Davidson, and Mad Men‘s Scott Hornbacher.

U.S. Marine Greg Cope White serves as the writer behind the title.

In addition to Miles Heizer and Vera Farmiga, the main cast of The Corps features Max Parker and Liam Oh, who play the roles of Sgt. Sullivan and Ray McCaffey, respectively. Sullivan is described as a “decorated” individual whose past consistently haunts him, while Ray is Cameron’s best friend who deals with his tough internal struggles that are just as troublesome as Cameron’s.

Here’s who else you can expect to see in this drama series:

As of today, we don’t have a release date for The Corps, as the Netflix original is still in production. (This is also why we don’t know if the title will stay the same or change.) Once we do know, however, we will be sure to let you know.

Again, The Corps is a series you don’t want to miss, so check back in with Netflix Life for all the latest!
