The first season is 16 episodes, between 30 and 45 minutes depending on the episode, all telling a continuous, ongoing story.

The dream is to make multiple seasons of it, and fairly quickly? But we need the show to find an audience first. So if folks are curious, definitely tune in next week!

how long do you expect it to be? multiple seasons like wolf 359 or a single season like unseen?

Another quick sneak peak at The Harbingers scripts...

@lgrace.bsky.social's Amy Stirling in a nutshell.

Tune back next week and listen to our first three episodes!

AMY STIRLING
I'm a big fan of history,
especially when I get to
be a part of it.

She shoots Skinner a wide smile, all teeth.

THE HARBINGERS comes out one week(!!!) from today!(!!!!)

Here's another quick peak at the script for our first episode, out October 14th!

ADAM BLACKWELL
Okay, this - we’ve only got a few
minutes left. So we’ll call this
good for today, rather than diving
into a whole other topic. Does
anybody have any questions?

Practically every hand in the auditorium shoots up.

ADAM BLACKWELL (CONT'D)
Any questions that... don’t have to
do with my unusual abilities?

Slowly... most hands dwindle downwards.

ADAM BLACKWELL (CONT'D)
Yeah, all right. Everyone, I need
you all to understand... This is a
serious class, okay? I take the
academic study of Harbinger
languages seriously, and I expect
you to do the same. Anything else
that I can do... that’s not really
what we’re here for, okay?

A wave of half-hearted “okays” sweeps through the room.

ADAM BLACKWELL (CONT'D)
... which is why we’re only going
to do this once, okay?

NEVERMIND, WE’RE SO BACK. Everyone is leaning forward.

Lauren is playing Amy Stirling.

Amy, also known as The Silver Witch, is the 2nd magician our show follows.

Unlike Adam, Amy is QUITE comfortable being the center of attention. She thrives in the spotlight.

But what she'll do with that attention, and the power it commands? That remains to be seen.
