About ‘Project Greenlight’ 2023 Reboot Premiere

Now produced by “Insecure” creator/star Issa Rae, the reboot of “Project Greenlit” will offer a window into the filmmaking process by following a group of diverse, up-and-coming talented female filmmakers who, under Rae’s guidance, will direct their first feature-length films. Kumail Nanjiani and Gina Prince-Bythewood will also serve as mentors throughout the season.

The season follows director Meko Winbush’s experience directing her first feature film, “Gray Matter,” which will also be available to watch via Max the same day, Thursday, July 13. In it, Aurora (played by Mia Isaac), who has known her whole life that she and her mother, Ayla (Jessica Frances Dukes) have superhuman abilities that also make them dangerous, will discover if her mother was speaking the truth on one fateful and fatal night.

The original “Project Greenlight” ran for four seasons at HBO (Seasons 1-2, 4) and Bravo (Season 3) between 2001-2015 and led to the production of four debut features: Pete Jones’s “Stolen Summer”; Erica Beeney, Kyle Rankin and Efram Potelle’s “The Battle of Shaker Heights”; and Marcus Dunstan, Patrick Melton, and John Gulager’s “Feast.”

The eight-episode first season of “Project Greenlight: New Generation” will premiere on Max on Thursday, July 13, 2023.
