Being in charge of a big-budget TV production means having to make decisions. It's a new kind of power for Micah and Eli, and one that's sometimes uncomfortable to exercise. The words they write have real-world, three-dimensional-- and sometimes winged-- consequences.
This is the third part of a four-part mini-series on the making of the Homecoming TV show.

From the creators behind Homecoming and Sandra, this is a preview of The Final Chapters of Richard Brown Winters.

Richard Brown Winters: bestselling author and legendary recluse. It’s been almost a decade since anyone’s heard from him, and most of his readers have given up hope of ever finding out the fate of wasteland warrior Casio Zook and his loyal falcon. But that doesn't stop one ardent fan from joining a ragtag group journeying to Winters’ desert cabin — and what they find threatens to destroy the Wintersverse forever.

The Final Chapters of Richard Brown Winters, written and created by Kevin Moffett and Eli Horowitz. Directed by Eli Horowitz. Starring Darrell Britt-Gibson, Bobby Cannavale, Catherine Keener, Parker Posey, and Sam Waterston.
