FOR PRODUCERS, AGENTS
& DEVELOPMENT EXECUTIVES

T. Aaron Cisco is a bestselling Afrofuturist speculative fiction author with twenty published novels and collections, seven of which have reached #1 on Amazon in niche bestseller categories. Cisco is currently seeking representation and development partnerships to adapt select titles into prestige television and streaming series. The work is highly visual, character-driven, and designed for serialized storytelling, blending Afrofuturism, political drama, and original mythology.

AFTERLIGHT (Prestige Anthology Series)

AFTERLIGHT is a prestige Afrofuturist anthology series exploring the lives of ordinary people after reality bends,  when time fractures, memory shifts, technology intrudes, or the world quietly ends. Each episode examines what lingers in the aftermath, and the choices we make, the truths we inherit, and the light that refuses to go out, connected by a guiding voice that frames the questions we’re often too afraid to ask.

Guiding the audience through each episode is the creator himself, T. Aaron Cisco, appearing briefly in a Rod Serling–esque role. His introductions provide thematic context, personal insight, and a human throughline, anchoring the series’ bold speculative concepts in lived experience and emotional truth.

Season One adapts stories from Rod String Nail Cloth, culminating in a feature-length finale based on All the Blue is Beige. Together, these stories examine justice, trauma, memory, grief, survival, and hope through Afrofuturist, surreal, and genre-bending lenses.

Future Seasons

AFTERLIGHT is designed as a multi-season franchise with a fully written pipeline:

 

THE UNBANISHED (Epic Afrofuturist Fantasy saga)

THE UNBANISHED is a prestige Afrofuturist fantasy set in a world where peace is enforced through sacred social castes. When a brilliant pacifist scholar survives a state-sanctioned massacre, she joins forces with a legendary assassin and an ancient mystic creature to expose the violent machinery beneath their civilization. Together, they ignite a revolution that dismantles gods, governments, and the myth that suffering is necessary for order.

Unlike traditional fantasy built on Arthurian myth, THE UNBANISHED fuses Afrofuturism with French folklore and West African mythology—led by deeply complex female protagonists and elevated through allegory and metaphor. It’s epic, political, and emotionally grounded, asking what peace is worth when it’s built on blood.

Based on the Land of Bone Trilogy (The Unbanished, The Unrested, and The Unbodied), THE UNBANISHED is Andor meets American Gods with Afrofuturist myth and moral stakes, blended with The Witcher.

 

STEAL THE F**KING MOON  (Darkly Comedic Sci-Fi)

When two reluctant outlaws accidentally trigger the collapse of a galactic empire, they’re thrust into an interstellar race to escape the chaos they unleashed. STEAL THE F**KING MOON is a high-concept, high-velocity Afrofuturist satire blending cosmic spectacle with biting humor. Rain and Cygnus are  an odd-couple pair of rebels who stumble into infamy after exposing a corporate conspiracy tied to lunar mining and planetary control. Each episode expands the scope of rebellion, blending social commentary, absurdist bureaucracy, and jaw-dropping action. Beneath the spectacle lies a critique of power, colonialism, and media manipulation in a galaxy that looks alarmingly like our own.

Audiences crave smart, rebellious genre storytelling that punches up, and STEAL THE F**KING MOON captures that energy. Its Afrofuturist perspective and gallows humor make it as topical as it is binge-worthy, ideal for platforms seeking prestige-with-personality sci-fi.
