OPERATION: COLD PIZZA

  In 1997, a conspiracy-obsessed teenager receives a cryptic AIM message that leads him and his friends to a hidden Cold War bunker beneath their high school. What begins as a game quickly becomes a race to uncover a decades-old conspiracy, find his missing father, and stop forces far more dangerous than they ever imagined. 

 Operation: Cold Pizza is a mystery-comedy adventure series blending Cold War conspiracies, retro technology, friendship, and coming-of-age storytelling. Set in a world of dial up internet, VHS tapes, floppy disks, and late-night conspiracy theories, the series follows a group of young outsiders who discover that the very things that make them different may also be the key to saving the world. Built around an expandable mythology, Operation: Cold Pizza is designed as a multi-season adventure series with franchise potential across episodic content, digital media, publishing, and fan engagement. 

 Operation: Cold Pizza is a love letter to every kid who has ever felt like an outsider. At its core, the series is about friendship, identity, belonging, and the courage to believe that ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference. The production reflects the world as it truly is. More than 70% of the cast identify as neurodivergent, and the project actively creates opportunities for emerging performers and filmmakers from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences.
