Joshua Lane (Written Series)

Joshua Lane was a crime-drama web serial created by Zachary Serra, produced and published by Pacer1, and released onto the Pacer1 website, Wattpad, and StoryFire. The series debuted on March 7, 2021, with its first season running for seven episodes. The series had been created upon the announcement of Serra's intentions to depart from UZ Media, an ongoing legal battle over the ownership of Rise forcing Serra to begin production of additional series in the event he lost rights to the series in court. On December 4, 2020, the Pacer1 Instagram account announced the release of four upcoming series, with Joshua Lane being one.
On December 8, 2020, Pacer1 announced the end of their partnership with StoryFire, pulling their content from the site. However, on December 15th, 2020, Pacer1 rescinded their forfeiture of partnership with the platform. The original end of the partnership came after an internal glitch in StoryFire's system released the first two episodes of the first season ahead of schedule, the agreement being renewed once the issue was resolved. The episodes remain on the platform, having already been made available for a week by the time.
The first season of Joshua Lane premiered on March 7, 2021 and concluded on April 18, 2021. On May 26, 2021, Pacer1 announced that they had renewed Joshua Lane for a second season. The second season of the series premiered on January 2, 2022 and concluded on March 6, 2022. On May 11, 2022; the series was cancelled after two seasons- the first Pacer1 series to suffer a cancellation.
