The Shards(2026)

If looks could kill.

The Shards is a psychological thriller series set in Los Angeles during 1981, following seventeen-year-old Bret Easton Ellis through his final year at the exclusive Buckley prep school. When a mysterious new student named Robert Mallory arrives, his disturbing presence unsettles the privileged community—particularly Ellis—just as a serial killer known as The Trawler begins terrorizing the city. The series weaves together coming-of-age drama with mounting dread as Ellis navigates adolescent obsession, friendship, and the creeping darkness that surrounds Mallory's enigmatic arrival. Based on Ellis's novel, The Shards explores how the privileged world of elite prep school collides with real violence and psychological unease, blurring the line between teenage paranoia and genuine threat.
