"After all, he turned author Rachel Reid's beloved but niche-interest Game Changers books into a modestly budgeted six-episode season for Canadian streamer Crave, which became an overnight global sensation. That it's also one of the most acclaimed & widely discussed queer series ever? It's nothing short of a miracle on ice!"
"The drama begins as the Athenian empire is crumbling and the world's greatest mind, Aristotle, arrives in Macedonia to tutor a volatile young prince, Alexander. Amid palace intrigue, forbidden love, brutal war and ruthless ambitions, their unlikely friendship shapes an empire and alters the course of history."
Jacob Tierney, creator of the acclaimed queer series Heated Rivalry, has become one of Hollywood's most sought-after talents following the show's unexpected global success on Canadian streamer Crave. The modest six-episode season, adapted from Rachel Reid's Game Changers books, became an overnight sensation and is recognized as one of the most acclaimed queer series ever made. While Tierney develops Season 2 of Heated Rivalry, Netflix has secured his next project: Alexander, a period-piece drama based on Annabel Lyon's 2010 novel The Golden Mean. The series will explore the relationship between young Alexander the Great and his tutor Aristotle, examining their unlikely friendship amid palace intrigue, forbidden love, and brutal warfare as they shape an empire and alter history's course.
