Love, Parker (digital series)
Love, Parker is an upcoming dramatic-comedy digital series created by Colin Carswell. The series follows a trio of twenty-somethings navigating the complexities of romance and personal growth. Carswell will star in the titular role of Parker, with Shayla Brielle G. and Deonte Goodman rounding out the cast. The series is executive produced by Juwan Chambers and Johnathon L. Jackson, who serves as showrunner.
Love, Parker is the third series produced under the Switch Up Entertainment banner and marks Carswell’s first project with the company following his official partnership with them on February 21, 2025.
In the summer of 2021, Carswell developed the web series in collaboration with a group of friends, including Chambers (also his newly minted writing partner), as a proof-of-concept for one of his original teleplays. However, plans fizzled out.
In November 2024, desiring to make a project before starting graduate school, Carswell approached Chambers about revisiting the series. Chambers agreed and suggested bringing in their mutual friend, Johnathon L. Jackson, as the showrunner, given his experience as a showrunner’s assistant on Mara Brock Akil’s upcoming Netflix series Forever. By Christmas, Jackson joined the project and development progressed rapidly.
The trio assembled a writers’ room, which opened in March. Production is slated to begin in the summer, contingent upon fundraising efforts. The project was announced on social media February 22, 2025.
