Five Points is an upcoming drama television series set to premiere on Facebook Watch with a first season consisting of ten episodes.
The series was created by Adam Giaudrone, who is also set to write and executive produce alongside Kerry Washington.
Five Points follows "five students at a South Side, Chicago high school who experience a life-changing event from different points of view, with each perspective being necessary to help understand the truth."
On October 17, 2017, Facebook announced that it had given Five Points a series order for a first season consisting of ten episodes. The series is set to be executive produced by Adam Giaudrone, Jon Avnet, Rodrigo Garcia, Jake Avnet Kerry Washington, Pilar Savone, and Thomas Carter. The series is set to be written by Giaudrone and directed by Carter. Production companies involved with the series include Simpson Street and Indigenous Media.
In January 2018, Washington discussed the series at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas saying, "What I’m thrilled about is not only the content itself — the story, the acting, how its a shot." She continued, "There are some really important coming-of-age issues that we deal with. It’s the LGBT community. It’s gun violence. Drug use. Bullying."
Announced simultaneously with the series order were the castings of Madison Pettis and Hayley Kiyoko in the series' lead female roles. A month later, it was reported that Ray Cham Jr., Trey Curtis, Nathaniel Potvin, Jake Walker, and Spence Moore II had been added to the main cast.
On January 30, 2018, Facebook released the first promotional video for the series.
