Leo Brawn — Season 2
Episode 16: “Revelations, Part 2”
Leo remembers the night he died. But the evidence tells a story he doesn’t recognize.
As Sebastien’s discoveries strike closer to home, Leo must question more than the people who deceived him. What if the memories he’s trusted are hiding something he was never meant to find?
On Earth, unanswered calls lead two officers to a quiet home where something is terribly wrong. And in Dante, an offer of help comes from someone with every reason to be feared.
He can confront a liar. How does he confront a lie inside his own head?

Leo Brawn — Season 2 Premiere
Episode 15: “Revelations, Part 1”
Leo Brawn thought he knew what Hell had taken from him. Now, an impossible message threatens to unravel everything he believes.
In the aftermath of a blood-soaked night, Sebastien returns with secrets someone went to terrifying lengths to bury. Inside the O.R.A., questions become accusations, familiar faces invite fresh suspicion, and Leo’s search for the truth turns dangerously personal.
On Earth, others are asking questions of their own—and the mysterious man with the briefcase is drawing attention he cannot afford.
What was hidden in Leo’s past? Who benefits from keeping him in the dark? And what could make even The Pig tremble?
Some secrets are buried to keep them hidden. Others, to keep them quiet.

LEO BRAWN: DEMON HUNTER
Season Two Prologue
Fall, 2024.
An ambulance races through the night carrying a young woman named Claire.
She suffered a seizure.
That much is known.
What happened next was not.
Something occurred inside Medic Four that defied explanation. Something that would remain buried, dismissed, and hidden from nearly everyone who might have asked questions.
But some secrets have a way of reaching the wrong ears.
And somewhere far beyond the mortal world, someone has been watching.
Now, an incident forgotten on Earth is about to set something much larger into motion.
The audit has been initiated.
Starring Melique Berger, Rachelle Riehl, Cody Rock, Rafael Molina, Larry Oblander, and Jordan Harbin.

Original Air Date: 12/25/2024
On a quiet, wintry night in the City of Dante, Sheriff Leo Brawn walks the streets of Hell and reflects on love, loss, and the strange new life he’s built among the damned. As Christmas Eve arrives in Hell 2.0, familiar traditions resurface in unexpected ways—through memories of family left behind, friendships forged in fire, and a chosen family gathered at the Highwater Saloon.
In this reflective and heartfelt episode, Leo discovers that even in Hell, there is room for warmth, community, and hope—and that some promises, no matter the distance or the realm, refuse to die.

Topaz & Stillman — Episode 1: “Rough Cut”
From the twisted universe of the hit horror drama Leo Brawn: Demon Hunter comes a brand-new spin-off—an outrageous action-comedy where Willie Topaz and Maury Stillman finally get the spotlight in Topaz & Stillman: An 80s Adventure.
The Lowdown
Willie Topaz, Hollywood’s rising firecracker—late to rise, ladies in tow, blasting in a souped-up Firebird with Maury Stillman riding shotgun. By sundown, he’s clutching “Best Car Chase” at the Orion Awards and sending rival Rhythm Mercy into a slow burn. The press pokes at his past, the family he left behind… but before the applause fades—bam. At 33, Willie’s gone.
Years later, bitter Rhythm finds himself behind the mic, forced to narrate Rough Cut: The Rise of Willie, reliving the legend he despised. Through his reluctant voice, we rewind to Clayton Ames: a kid with a star-shaped birthmark, dazzled by movie palaces, christened by a rough-cut gem. On set, tears flow for the first time—thanks to coach Clifford Moss and an old flame returned.
Fast, funny, and slick with Hollywood satire, “Rough Cut” launches the saga—ambition, friendship, and a rivalry still smoldering long after the spotlight went dark.

“Hey everyone, Jason here — creator of Leo Brawn, Magnetar, and now… something completely different.
What you’re about to hear is a very special crossover piece — part late-night talk show parody, part character backstory, and part sneak peek at our brand-new series coming this fall: Topaz & Stillman: An 80s Adventure.
In this episode, you’ll hear Maury Stillman — now much older, a little slower, but still sleazy — being interviewed on the fictional talk show Too Late with Gimmy Gibney. He’s promoting his new memoir, The Rise of Willie, reflecting on his wild Hollywood adventures in the 1980s with his best friend and client, the late Willie Topaz.
You’ll also get a taste of the over-the-top world we’re building — including a guest musical performance by The Hack Sisters. It’s weird, it’s funny, it’s tragic… and it’s just the beginning.
So buckle up, hairspray your soul, and enjoy this little time warp. And remember — this fall, the neon-soaked chaos of Topaz & Stillman: An 80s Adventure is coming exclusively from Shoestring TV.”
