What is Queen Rising about?

“Queen Rising follows a young woman, Madison, who’s on the brink of losing everything,” the official synopsis reads. “Struggling to make ends meet as a school teacher, Madison is approached with a life-changing opportunity: to turn her dark past into a thriller novel. Skeptically, Madison accepts, and dives into her history of a once terrorized community during the ‘College Town Slayings.’ As her trauma unfolds, Madison discovers unsettling connections and soon realizes her past may not be as dormant as she once believed. With the specter of danger looming over her, she must confront the demons to secure her future, navigating a treacherous journey of redemption and self-discovery where the line between fiction and reality blurs.”

The movie is written by Allison Chaney and Henry E. Reaves III. Princeton James, who is making his feature film directorial debut with Queen Rising, serves as a producer alongside Emily James, Mitch Martin, and May Todd, while Reaves III serves as an executive producer.

Along with Hale, Queen Rising stars Xamon Glasper, Jessie Reeder, Terrion Mayfield, Dash Kennedy Williams, Rekeitha Morris, and Darious Robertson.

Queen Rising releases on streaming platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, DirecTV, Vudu, Xbox, Google Play, and more on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, from Breaking Glass Pictures.
