NETFLIX GREENLIGHTS "THE CORPS" (WT) STARRING MILES HEIZER, VERA FARMIGA, MAX PARKER AND LIAM OH

From Executive Producer Andy Parker, Norman Lear's ACT III Productions and Sony Pictures Television

· Netflix today announced it has picked up The Corps (working title) to series, a new comedic drama from Executive Producers Andy Parker, Norman Lear, Brent Miller, Rachel Davidson, Scott Hornbacher and Sony Pictures Television.

· Logline: Set in 1990, The Corps (WT) 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.

· Inspired by the memoir "The Pink Marine" written by Greg Cope White.

· Format / Episodes: Drama; 10 episodes

· Miles Heizer (13 Reasons Why, Parenthood) stars as "Cameron Cope." Cameron Cope is a charming underdog - a gay, bullied teenager living in a chaotic home with his narcissistic mom - he impulsively joins the Marines with his straight best friend in hopes that he'll finally be made into a "real man."

· Vera Farmiga (Bates Motel, The Conjuring, When They See Us) stars as "Barbara Cope." Barbara Cope is a chameleon - always on the run from the consequences of her actions - but she becomes unmoored when her son Cameron leaves her for the Marine Corps.

· Max Parker (Vampire Academy, Blood, Sex & Royalty) stars as "Sgt. Sullivan." Sgt. Sullivan is the consummate elite Recon Marine, has been decorated for valor on numerous top-secret missions, but struggles to keep his own secret hidden. Haunted by his past, Sullivan sees himself in Cameron and tries to prepare him for the same personal war he'll face beyond boot camp.

· Liam Oh (The Notebook for Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, Next To Normal for Writers Theatre) stars as "Ray McCaffey." Ray is Cameron's ride or die and the son of a strict Marine father. Ray carries the pressure of having to be best at all times, but when boot camp shakes his faith in himself, he is forced to reevaluate his life's trajectory.
