15 parts Ongoing MatureSet in the heart of late-1980s and early-90s Los Angeles, Next Level follows Imerie, a young mother rebuilding her life after loss, and Eric, a rising name from Compton with a dangerous charm and a past that's hard to shake.
What starts as tension and sharp words in a crowded club turns into something neither of them saw coming a slow, unexpected pull that refuses to fade. From heated arguments to quiet apologies, from a sunlit trip to Barbados to late-night talks under fireworks, their worlds begin to tangle in ways that test both pride and vulnerability.
But love in their world isn't simple. It's raw, complicated, and unpredictable. As Imerie learns to open her heart again, she has to face whether Eric's intentions are real or if history's about to repeat itself.
A story about second chances, unspoken chemistry, and two people trying to heal in the middle of chaos, Next Level captures the heartbeat of Black love, the grit of Compton, and the tenderness that hides behind the toughest walls.
