Miles Heizer (13 Reasons Why, Parenthood) is heading to the front lines in The Corps. Inspired by former US Marine Greg Cope White’s memoir The Pink Marine, the upcoming 10-episode drama series hails from showrunner Andy Parker (Tales of the City, Imposters).
Set in 1990, The Corps follows charming underdog Cameron Cope (Heizer), a bullied, gay high school student who impulsively joins the Marine Corps with his straight best friend, Ray (Liam Oh), in hopes that he’ll finally be made into a “real man.” It’s a dangerous move at a time when being gay in the military meant a prison sentence or worse. The two friends plunge into Marine Corps boot camp — amid both literal and metaphorical land mines — joining a platoon of young men on a harrowing journey of transformation.(https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/the-corps-tv-series-miles-heizer-vera-farmiga)
