About

Outlier Society is an American film and television production company founded in 2016 by actor-producer Michael B. Jordan, headquartered in Los Angeles. Built on a mission to champion inclusive storytelling and elevate underrepresented voices, the company quickly distinguished itself as one of the first in Hollywood to adopt the industry-wide “inclusion rider,” reinforcing its commitment to equitable hiring practices and diverse creative representation.

Outlier Society made an early impact with its co-production of the HBO Films adaptation of Fahrenheit 451, which earned multiple Primetime Emmy Awards nominations and contributed to Jordan receiving a Producers Guild of America Award. The company further solidified its reputation with the critically acclaimed legal drama Just Mercy, which garnered honors including the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Motion Picture, as well as recognition from the American Black Film Festival and BET Awards. Expanding into franchise filmmaking, Outlier Society served as a production partner on Creed III, marking a major commercial milestone within the globally successful Rocky/Creed universe.

On the television side, the company has contributed to a range of notable series, including Raising Dion, one of Netflix’s most-streamed shows upon release, and David Makes Man, which received multiple award nominations including Critics’ Choice and Peabody recognition. Their slate has also included projects like 61st Street, signaling a continued presence in prestige television.

In recent years, Outlier Society has expanded its footprint through high-profile studio partnerships, including first-look and overall deals with major players such as Amazon Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures, positioning the company at the center of both theatrical and streaming pipelines. Its evolving slate has featured films like Without Remorse and A Journal for Jordan, alongside ambitious development projects such as adaptations of Black Leopard, Red Wolf and other large-scale genre properties.

Beyond production, the company has invested in pipeline development through initiatives like the Outlier Society Fellowship, designed to mentor and create opportunities for emerging creatives from underrepresented backgrounds. With a growing portfolio that blends socially conscious storytelling with commercial appeal, Outlier Society continues to build a forward-looking slate across film and television, cementing its role as a key driver of modern, culture-shifting content in Hollywood.
