A Creative Endeavor

Beula
The Caste of
When a high-powered entertainment executive secretly orchestrates the ousting of her wife and business partner from their multimillion-dollar talent agency, she ignites a war of betrayal, ambition, and personal reckoning. In a world of red carpets and ruthless deals, their crumbling marriage lays bare the wounds of the past, threatening to destroy everything she’s built.


Statement of Diversity

The Caste of Beula is more than a television pilot; it is a bold and unflinching exploration of intersectionality, placing characters up front and center who are often relegated to the margins of mainstream shows. Professional women, older Black women, queer women, and people from the Diaspora are allowed to see themselves in all of their complexities on screen. This is a story about ambition, love, betrayal, and redemption that transcends demographics while honoring the unique experiences of underrepresented voices.

״Beula, listen to me. When God shows you it's time to let something or someone go and you refuse to accept it, He will unleash a mighty pain your way until you have no choice but to listen. Save yourself that pain, baby. Let her go.״
- Beula's Father, George

Coverage of the Caste of Beula
January 22, 2025
The vibrant and exciting world that springs to life in shows like EMPIRE is turbocharged, in this script, with the entrepreneurial spirit and scope of BALLERS, VINYL, and ENTOURAGE. In Beula, the script crafts a portrait of intertwined ruthlessness and vulnerability that is undeniably compelling, from the effortless way in which she uses light and effects to enrapture a crowd, and the stunning efficiency with which she puts together a plan to address the imminent crisis of wife Ari's departure, to the aching abandonment and resentment that she harbors toward her mother over running away with another man and leaving her behind when she was six. Ari proves to be every bit as much her equal, deftly maneuvering to jump ship the very day that their 10th wedding anniversary triggers new provisions in their prenup – a woman who eats alligator for dessert and whose fresh interest in new talent Remy (with all the significance of Remy’s own identity) signals only deepening fissures and heightening drama in episodes to come. Blending the smart and fascinating machinery of the business world with the soapy drama of exploitation, betrayal, and unraveling relationships, this series seems guaranteed to bring audiences back for more.
