This gritty musical drama from actor, writer and singer-songwriter Nicôle Lecky is based on her play, Superhoe, and follows aspiring pop star Sasha (Lecky), who has her dream sidetracked by the lure of easy money online.

After a messy breakup and an alcohol-fueled night of arson, Sasha gets kicked out of her mom’s house and is left broke and homeless. She befriends and moves in with Carly (Lara Peake), a social-media influencer and pro party girl who’s raking in the money performing on her DailyFanz site.

“Anyone can get big online,” Carly says. “You just got to play the game.” Sasha creates her Lexi Caramel online persona, and the game begins. As Sasha becomes more deeply invested in Lexi, she discovers the dark truths behind the facade of internet fame.

The six-episode series is partly told through Sasha’s songs and features an original soundtrack performed by Lecky.

Mood premieres on BBC America Sunday, Nov. 6, at 10pm ET/PT and also streams on AMC+.
