In this revival of the groundbreaking series, Issa Rae, Kumail Nanjiani, and Gina Prince-Bythewood search for Hollywood’s next great director.
After screening thousands of submissions, Issa, Kumail, and Gina select ten talented female filmmakers for a shot at directing their first feature.
With just seven weeks until the start of filming, Meko turns to the mentors for advice before diving into the script, while simultaneously working on hiring an all-star crew. Later, Meko finds herself torn between two talented production designers.

In an effort to speed up the writing process, Issa’s team brings in a group of script consultants to pitch potential fixes. Then, after clashing over casting, Meko finds herself fighting for her choice for the film’s lead.
After finally settling on a lead, Meko breathes a sigh of relief until a surprise resignation threatens to derail shooting. Later, Meko faces an important meeting with studio executives -- but will she be able to rise to the challenge?
After a lackluster table read raises doubts with studio executives, the development team attempts a heart-to-heart with their director.
