Emmy-winning Colman Domingo (Euphoria, Rustin) stars in The Headlands House, a limited thriller series that has come to Netflix for development following a competition. Produced by AMC Studios, the series counts on executive production from Colman Domingo and Raúl Domingo through their production company Edith Productions, as well as Patrick Moran (The Rainmaker) through his PKM Productions.

The Headlands House is written and executive produced by Cameron B. Dupont (Yellowjackets). The plot follows a gay couple who move into their dream house, only to discover that their previous residents were brutally murdered on the property and their own lives could now be in danger.

This would be Domingo's third series for Netflix. The actor led the limited series The Madness in 2024 and also appears in the comedy series The Four Seasons, which has earned him two Emmy nominations across the two seasons to date. Domingo's relationship with Netflix also spans films, including his Oscar-nominated performance in Rustin, as well as Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and the upcoming An Innocent Girl.

Domingo also has a relationship with AMC Global Media, primarily through his role as Víctor Strand in Fear the Walking Dead, the second series in AMC's The Walking Dead Universe, which aired for eight seasons from 2015 to 2023. This relationship and the first-look deal that Edith Productions has there were what led to AMC Studios' participation in the project.

The Headlands House marks an expansion into third-party production for AMC Studios, something that AMC Global Media CEO Kristin Dolan alluded to on the company's most recent earnings call. "In addition to creating programming for our own platforms, our studio team is actively developing projects with a variety of leading distributors," she said. "Producing for others is a natural extension of our internal development process."
