Genesis

Genesis is an American science fiction television series created by Geo Rosario and co-developed by Gregorio Dominguez for RKO. The series is a sequel to Enigma Beach which stars Steven Estevez as George Acevedo, the youngest of the four Acevedo brothers who now works at the GenX Enterprises—a successor to the Genesis Corporation seen in the original series—as he uses time travel to save the world and possibly the universe from incoming threats to both of their existences. The series also stars Natalie Braxton (seasons 1–2), Laurie Chung, Anthony Evanson, Miguel Dizon (seasons 3–8), Brendan Lorenzo (seasons 4–8), Jessica Winston (seasons 4–8), Vicente Cordova (seasons 4–8), Cristina Bermudez (seasons 5-6), and Daniel MacCormack (seasons 7–8).

An Enigma Beach sequel had been a longstanding concept of Rosario's. He and Dominguez began working on the pilot episode in September 2014. In November, it was confirmed that Estevez would be reprising his role as George Acevedo. Genesis was officially picked up by RKO in May 2015. Rosario, Estevez, Dominguez, and Richard Ambrose were the original executive producers of Genesis; Angelica Williams and David Licence joined later. The series was produced by Rosario's October 23rd Productions in association with.

The show originally aired from September 24, 2015 to May 18, 2023. While the show's ratings began to decline during the final two seasons, critical reception of the show was positive for all eight seasons, though audiences were notoriously polarized by the final season. Several spin-off series were planned for RKO and cable sister channel RKOx but never materialized.
