Production

edit

Dorell Anthony initially created Pride: The Series in 2013, with executive producers Brandon Polanco and Jennifer Wilmeth, and core cast members Ashley Mitchell, Adam Andrew Rios, and Braden Bradley.

Ilene Kristen (Ryan's Hope, One Life to Live, General Hospital) and Lauren B. Martin (As the World Turns, Another World (TV series), Anacostia) joined the cast as special guest stars for the first season. Following the first season, the show took a hiatus to make changes behind the scenes. Polanco and Wilmeth departed the series and Mitchell was upgraded to executive producer, with Rios and Bradley serving as associate producers alongside Vincent de Paul and Megan Montfort. Rehab Entertainment, owned by John W. Hyde and Terissa Kelton joined as executive producers with Kelton portraying a new supporting character, Riley. Michael V. Pomarico (All My Children, multi nominated director) joined as series director. Sonia Blangiardo (All My Children, Days of Our Lives, Tainted Dreams) joined as consulting producer.

As of June 2019, Scott C. Sickles (One Life to Live, General Hospital) was announced as head writer of the show taking the series in a different direction more in line of what Anthony envisioned with Maryam Myika Day (SMARTASS, MOUNTAIN HIGH) as a writer.

The 3rd season is currently in pre-production.
