Riley Parra is the new six-part web series produced by tello Films, a production company that creates web series’ specifically for the lesbian/queer community, “meaning that lesbian and queer characters are front and centre.”
The series is based on the book series of the same name, about a detective struggling to do the right thing in a corrupt department, who discovers a war between angels and demons is being waged in her city, and she’s the only chance the good side has of winning. Phew!
“I loved the book series by Geonn Cannon and it was this perfect combination between Rizolli and Isles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Castle,” states Christin Baker, owner of tello Films. “All of those shows I love, so it was so great for my audience.”
The lead is played by Marem Hassler, known for her work in Duo (2015), Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) and Bone Tomahawk (2015). The series also features Liz Vassey who was in CSI for 5 seasons and The Tick (the original) as well as Connor Trinneer (Star Trek: Enterprise and Stargate Atlantis).
