'''''The Alex Project''''' is an upcoming psychological mystery–drama television series created by [[Alex Brow]], set to premiere worldwide on [[Netflix]] on '''November 28, 2025'''. The series follows a fictionalized version of Brow himself, blending personal introspection, psychological tension, and surreal realism into a grounded exploration of identity, perception, and the blurring of memory and truth.

The show stars Alex Brow alongside [[Sophia Lillis]], [[Justice Smith]], [[Ben Barnes]], [[Jessica Barden]], and [[Owen Teague]]. The first season will consist of eight episodes and is co-produced by Brow’s creative label, **VibeFrame Productions**, in association with [[Netflix]] and [[Air Studios]].

== Premise ==
Set in 2025, ''The Alex Project'' centers on a struggling creator who begins documenting his daily life through a private digital journal. When fragments of his recordings start appearing online—edited, distorted, and showing events that never happened—he becomes obsessed with uncovering who (or what) is reconstructing his reality. As his memories begin to fracture, he must confront whether he’s the author of the mystery or its subject.

The series explores ideas of creative identity, self-perception, and the consequences of being watched—blending psychological drama with elements of metafiction and analog horror.

== Production ==

=== Development ===
''The Alex Project'' was conceived by [[Alex Brow]] as a deeply personal psychological drama exploring the disintegration of self-identity under modern technological pressure. Drawing from Brow’s own creative and emotional experiences, the series was written as a semi-autobiographical fiction blending metafictional storytelling, horror, and grounded realism.

The project entered development under Brow’s label, **VibeFrame Productions**, in early 2024. Brow described the tone as “introspective paranoia meets digital ghost story,” emphasizing analog sound design, lo-fi textures, and surreal editing techniques over heavy CGI or spectacle. The series was announced by [[Netflix]] in mid-2025 as part of its “Visionary Voices” lineup of international originals.

=== Writing ===
Brow and his writing team approached the first season as an eight-episode psychological descent, written in three acts: observation, reflection, and collapse. Each episode reportedly shifts narrative perspective, blurring the line between documented reality and the protagonist’s fragmented memories. The scripts were described by Brow as “part confession, part distortion,” mirroring the show’s meta themes of self-construction and digital permanence.

=== Casting ===
Casting began in late 2024. Brow was confirmed to star as a version of himself, portraying both the creator and the subject of the experiment. [[Sophia Lillis]] joined as Elara Quinn, a close confidant drawn into his unraveling investigation. [[Justice Smith]], [[Ben Barnes]], [[Jessica Barden]], and [[Owen Teague]] round out the main ensemble, portraying characters who represent contrasting aspects of perception, doubt, and self.
