LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Casa Grande' is a bilingual limited series produced by Ali Afshar's ESX Entertainment and created by Afshar and Lauren Swickard. Amazon Freevee has secured the exclusive first-run US rights for the show, which explores the lives of California's hardworking, often undocumented migrant workforce, as well as the wealthy landowners they work for in Northern California. The series comprises five one-hour episodes and will premiere on Freevee on May 1.

ESX Entertainment, known for holiday films such as 'A California Christmas' and 'I Believe in Santa', is making its debut with 'Casa Grande'. The show is a conventional character drama that delves into universal themes of class, immigration, culture, and family. Described as an American version of the upstairs/downstairs story found in turn-of-the-century English countryside settings, 'Casa Grande' peels back the curtain on how the socioeconomic machine of the country operates. It highlights the integral, yet often overlooked, labor provided by the socially invisible migrant workforce, who are employed, housed, and fed by the Clarkman Farm and its neighboring property, Dalton Farm, in Mendocino County. Overall, 'Casa Grande' offers a poignant and dramatic glimpse into the reality of the American dream and the sacrifices many immigrants endure to pursue it.
