Author and TV writer Alanna Bennett (XO, Kitty, Roswell, New Mexico) is developing her latest novel, the YA title The Education of Kira Greer, for TV with Gabrielle Union via her I'll Have Another prodco, and alongside Dwyane Wade and Jon Marcus for 59th & Prairie Entertainment. The TV adaptation has been optioned by Fox Entertainment Studios.

The book was published and released by Knopf Penguin Random House in May 2025 as part of a two-book deal. The title has been optioned by FOX Entertainment Studios and is in development.

The Education of Kia Greer follows one of Hollywood's most famous families and the unfiltered coming of age of their second-youngest daughter, Kia. Complications arise when Kia enters a PR relationship with pop star Cassius Campbell and begins to question her place in the fame machine. The series is equal parts sweeping romance and searing exploration of fame and family in the social media age.

Bennett is a screenwriter, author, and journalist. She has recently served as a producer on S2 of XO, Kitty for Netflix. Prior to that, she was co-producer on The Hospital's second season for Amazon and served as executive story editor on XO, Kitty. Additional credits include the CW's Roswell, New Mexico series as a story editor. Bennett recently wrote her original feature rom-com Corinne Aster's Third Act, which she sold as a pitch to Orion Pictures. Putting on her director's hat, Bennett worked on Fox's Meet Cute — she directed and produced the prodco's February series Couldn't Be You, as well as their series Chef's Kiss. Bennett is repped by Untitled Entertainment, CAA, Frankfurt Kurnit Klein and Selz, and HG Literary.

Founded by Wade and named after the street he grew up on in the Southside of Chicago, 59th & Prairie Entertainment is a two-time Emmy-winning, Oscar and Tony-nominated production company telling new and untold stories.

In 2018, Union launched her production company, I'll Have Another, which is a nod to her NYT best-selling memoir "We're Going to Need More Wine". The company focuses on storytelling that surrounds centering marginalized communities with their specific point of view in an authentic manner.

Briana Middleton and Kyle Allen have been tapped to lead Getaway Entertainment's upcoming conspiracy thriller "Tilt," which begins shooting across the greater Los Angeles area in early April.

According to an official description, "Tilt" follows a struggling freelance reporter (Middleton) and her cinephile cam op, Jake (Allen), as they investigate a citywide conspiracy against the backdrop of a roaring L.A. wildfire. Sophia Banks directs the film with a screenplay from Arwen Elys Dayton. Damiano Tucci serves as producer. Banks, Dayton and Tucci are co-founders of production banner Getaway Entertainment.

Middleton recently wrapped production on Apple TV's sci-fi series "Neuromancer," in which she co-stars with Callum Turner. Also for Apple, she starred in the 2023 thriller "Sharper" alongside Julianne Moore, Sebastian Stan and Justice Smith. Her most recent film credit was leading Josalynn Smith's indie romance "Ride or Die," which debuted at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival.

Allen can soon be seen fighting alongside Alan Ritchson in an untitled war epic from Amazon MGM. His most recent film role was in Kathryn Bigelow's potboiler "A House of Dynamite." He also appeared in Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story" and Kenneth Branagh's "A Haunting in Venice."

"This film is very dear to my heart, dreamed up with Arwen," said director Banks. "It's something that feels personal and I wanted to shoot in Los Angeles. I wanted to see a female character unhinged and trying to make it in LA. Brianna and Kyle are a dream cast, and I'm excited to be shooting on location like my favorite '70s American films did. 'Tilt' is also a love letter to the world of movies – a world I care about so much".

Middleton is represented by Rhonda Price at Gersh and Ken Lee at Brillstein Entertainment Partners. Allen is represented by Brian Nossokoff at UTA and Beau Swayze at Entertainment 360. Banks is repped by Kevin Hussey at Range.
