Shadow Dove, created by Executive

Producer - Sheldon Pilot, is an eight-episode limited series (44 minutes each) that follows a female vigilante trio — Mimi, Desiree, and Gabriela — three survivors from an elite global network with unchecked influence, power and money, who transform from teenage agent provocateurs & trafficking victims into avengers of justice and payback. Driven by the haunting memory of a mother’s ultimate sacrifice and guided by Mimi’s father, Jimmy Lee — a tech billionaire and secret CIA sleeper agent — the series explores themes of blackmail, corruption, rituals, and betrayal, set against a high-stakes action-drama narrative.

“This is a story that refuses to shy away from present-day realities while pushing the boundaries of action, drama and female superhero mythology,” said SSI Executive Producer - Michael A. Calace.
