In a reimagined 1970s Los Angeles, a rising punk band navigates ambition, betrayal, and power struggles inspired by the fall of the Roman Republic, where music isn’t just rebellion, it’s survival.

SYNOPSIS:

The Populares reimagines the fall of the Roman Republic as a high-stakes battle for dominance in a gritty, punk-infused 1970s Los Angeles. At its heart is Jules, an ambitious teenage frontman desperate to rise from the ashes of a broken music scene consumed by backroom deals, corrupt moguls, and crumbling loyalties. As he builds his band, the line between art and politics blurs, forcing Jules and his allies to navigate a world where fame and betrayal hit like the sharpest guitar riffs. Power isn’t granted, it’s seized, song by song.
