Priority One (2025)
Series Writer Priority One is a high-stakes, character-driven procedural that follows the men and women of Indianapolis’s interconnected emergency services — fire, police, and dispatch — as they navigate the chaos of their work while wrestling with the weight of what it demands from them. Anchored in realism and raw emotion, the series captures the immediacy of first response: the blaring radios, the split-second choices, and the cost of carrying strangers’ worst days home with you.
