The Populares

In the spirit of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, The Populares reimagines the fall of the Roman Republic within the raw, rebellious energy of 1970s Los Angeles. Jules, an ambitious young punk rocker, rises from the gritty underground of Subura to challenge the city’s powerful music elite. As betrayal and ambition collide, Jules and his band must navigate rivalries, cutthroat dealmakers, and their own loyalties in a high-energy tale of rebellion and the cost of greatness.
