For Jamaican creative Keturah Hamilton, years of hard work in the entertainment industry are culminating in a deeply personal new project: the upcoming vertical drama series *Through Thick & Sin*, which she created, co-wrote, and stars in. Production on the series kicked off this past April, with a 2026 premiere date locked in for the hotly anticipated project.
The series centers on a tight-knit trio of childhood friends whose entertainment careers have ground to a frustrating standstill: one works as a model, another as a singer, and the third as an actress. Fed up with stagnation and hungry to build the lives they believe they deserve, the three women hatch an unconventional plan: they launch a custom website designed to connect with lonely, connection-seeking men craving attention and an escape from their daily struggles. Joining Hamilton in the main cast are Thomasina Gross, who takes on the role of Wendy, and Tara Joshi, who portrays the third member of the friend group, Tiffany. Hamilton herself leads the cast as Naomi, the series’ resilient core, and says the role allows her to showcase her Jamaican heritage in a refreshingly authentic way that has rarely been seen on screen.
Helming the director’s chair is Patricia Cuffie-Jones, an accomplished television writer and director who has already earned an Emmy nomination for her work in the industry. Cuffie-Jones brings extensive experience to the project, having previously directed well-received television movies including *His, Hers & Ours* starring noted actor Taye Diggs and the holiday feature *Brewster’s Millions: Christmas*. She also joins Hamilton and writer Stevie Sandoval as a co-writer on the series, sharing writing credits with the pair for the show’s story and scripts.
A native of Spanish Town, Jamaica, Hamilton migrated to the United States as a teenager and cut her teeth in the entertainment industry working as a professional model before pivoting to on-screen acting. She has built up a steadily impressive resume of on-screen credits in the years since her move, including guest roles on NBC’s hit medical drama *New Amsterdam*, a supporting turn in the political thriller *Gaslit* opposite Sean Penn, and a role in the feature film *Nanny*, where she shared the screen with entertainment icons Phylicia Rashad, best known for *The Cosby Show*, and Leslie Uggams, who originated the iconic role of Kizzy in the original *Roots* miniseries.
For Hamilton, taking on three distinct roles on the project — creator, writer, and lead actress — has been an unparalleled creative opportunity that allowed her to shape every layer of the story from its initial concept to its on-screen execution. “I was fortunate to land the role not only as an actress, but also as the creator and one of the writers of the project alongside Patricia Cuffie-Jones and Stevie Sandoval,” she explained in an interview with Jamaica Observer Online. “Bringing this story to life from the ground up has been an incredible experience.”
The series is produced by Phillmonaco Productions, a Los Angeles-based independent production company that backed Hamilton’s creative vision for the project. As of the latest announcements, distribution details for the series are still being finalized and will be shared with the public at a later date, leaving entertainment audiences waiting eagerly for more updates on the unique new drama.
