Christopher C. Odom and Edward J. Odom IV created the Nashville gym ensemble comedy.
PALM COAST, FL — October 30, 2026 — CineVerge, Inc. announced that Risers, an ensemble comedy/dramedy created by Edward J. Odom IV and Christopher C. Odom, has joined the company’s rights-controlled vertical series slate.
Set around a Nashville gym, Risers turns everyday routines, personality clashes, ambition, relationships and ego into a recurring ensemble comedy engine.
Rather than relying on a single high-concept mystery or thriller storyline, the series is designed around a group of recurring characters whose competing goals and relationships can generate new stories from ordinary interactions.
“Every slate needs tonal range,” said Christopher C. Odom, MFA, PhD, Founder, President & CEO of CineVerge. “Risers gives us an ensemble environment where the characters themselves create the storyverse. A gym constantly brings people together who have different personalities, goals, insecurities and ideas about who they want to become.”
The project adds an ensemble comedy/dramedy to a CineVerge development portfolio spanning thriller, horror, crime, science fiction, fantasy and workplace comedy.
CineVerge, Inc. is a Delaware C corporation based in Palm Coast, Florida. The company creates human-led, AI-assisted scripted vertical series for licensing to vertical microseries platforms.Media
