The mastermind behind the Power universe, Courtney A. Kemp, is back with a new crime drama for Netflix—Nemesis. Co-created with Tani Marole, Nemesis is the first series under Kemp’s creative partnership with Netflix, and it promises to bring high-stakes action, psychological intensity, and complex moral dilemmas to the screen.
Described as an action-packed heist series in the vein of Power, Nemesis is more than just a battle between a criminal mastermind and a brilliant detective.
The series focuses on two men standing on opposite sides of the law: Coltrane Wilder, a master criminal played by Y’lan Noel (Insecure, Lady in the Lake), and Isaiah Stiles, a relentless police detective portrayed by Matthew Law (Abbott Elementary, Ahsoka). Their inevitable clash will set the stage for a gripping heist drama that explores loyalty, ambition, self-destruction, and the blurred lines between right and wrong.
