The Stronghold Series was built for the screen. With fourteen books spanning five centuries, an ensemble cast of complex characters, a mythology that deepens with every installment, and a visual landscape that shifts from 16th-century Spanish missions to modern-day spiritual warfare — it's a story engine designed for long-form television or a multi-season streaming series.
"A wonderful piece of fiction that I could easily see being adapted into a screen production. Gave me a similar feeling as the Netflix hit Stranger Things."— Matthew Lloyd, Reedsy Discovery Team
The series occupies the same space as the most successful faith-adjacent properties in recent years: the supernatural intensity of Stranger Things, the spiritual warfare of The Chosen, and the generational scope of Game of Thrones — but rooted in a distinctly Christian worldview and anchored by a real-world mission that gives the IP cultural relevance beyond entertainment.
A built-in content pipeline that eliminates the development risk of open-ended series. The story arc is complete.
Faith-based entertainment is surging — Angel Studios' Sound of Freedom crossed $180M domestically, The Chosen became the most-watched crowdfunded series in history, and David opened to $50M+ in 2025. The audience is massive, loyal, and underserved.
Christian faith and anti-trafficking are two of the most powerful fundraising drivers in the nonprofit world. Combined in a single IP, they create a property that attracts faith-based donors, corporate sponsors, foundation grants, and cause-marketing partnerships simultaneously.
The story is set in a fictional Texas town, but Oklahoma's landscape, infrastructure, and incentive structure make it the ideal production home — with financial advantages no other state can match.
Oklahoma and the Cherokee Nation offer a combination of stackable production incentives that few states can compete with. For a production filming within Cherokee Nation boundaries — which include the Tulsa metro area — the combined rebate can reach up to 63% of qualified expenditures.
The Stronghold Series represents a rare convergence: a proven IP with a built-in audience, a 14-season content pipeline, a social mission that generates earned media, and a production location that offers one of the most aggressive incentive stacks in the United States. The question isn't whether this story belongs on screen — it's who will bring it there first.
