Shamier Anderson and Stephan James, Canadian actor-brothers, are set to develop and produce original television projects for Toronto-based global entertainment company Boat Rocker.

Under their Bay Mills Studios banner, the Toronto stars have signed a first-look deal with Boat Rocker. Both are already associated with Boat Rocker, with Anderson starring in its upcoming Apple TV Plus series “Invasion” and James in its upcoming AMC Networks show “Beacon 23.”

With a slew of high-profile projects and the establishment of The Black Academy, the deal cements Anderson and James as major forces in the film industry.

Anderson’s other credits include the Amazon Prime Video sci-fi film “Stowaway” and Halle Berry’s directorial debut in the boxing drama “Bruised.”
