## Pre-Production

Originally in early 2021, the creator Jaylen Nendoris was set to write and direct the film and was originally set in the medieval fantasy times. But due his PTSD with his directional debut with his masterpiece The Joylen of Creation 2: Reborn he dropped out of the project entirely, selling the character rights to the studio.

Months later, the character was rebooted entirely from scratch, and the studio was thinking what to do with the character. They had an idea to probably make the character be a somewhat of a molester against Griffin for comedic purposes but they dropped the idea instantly.

And then it was revealed that writer Chris Juarez said that it will be a different approach and Geo Malave (from GJM Studios) was set to co-write the script and direct the film.

## Filming

Script Writing began around 2022 and filming began on December 1st, 2022, filming finished on November 12th, 2023.

## Post-Production

The series will be airing on October 21st, 2023, on GJM Studios, and will later be released on Vulnerable Men Studios on December 3rd, 2023.

On December 10th, 2023, Geo Malave has confirmed to Vulnerable Men Studios that he would not like a sequel to be made. "I don't want to do a second season/second film. If some people in here [the studio] don't like it, I am not doing it. Whats the point if some people here [the studio] don't like it. And secondly, the story for a second one, where is it going to go? I'm sorry, but a second season/film, I ain't directing it. And, again, I only see it as a first season/movie. I don't want a second season / film, it was a good experience, but if people don't like it, Netherite will only be a standalone." He added, "Netherite 2 is not going to happen. I don't want it to happen, I believe that just one film / season, is fine the way it is." He has confirmed that he gives the series/film a 2/10. Geo Malave confirmed that if a sequel happens, he will not reprise his role as Nathan Scott, but he will reprise as Nathan Scott in the other Vulnerable Men Films, such as Griffin 2, and the Vulnerable Verse Films.

Netherite 2 has been confirmed by Chris Juarez.

## Reception
