Coming-of-age dramas always have a special place in the hearts and minds of many. While not all coming-of-age dramas are for everyone, it’s likely you haven’t found one just for you.

Beats is an upcoming Netflix Original coming-of-age drama directed by Chris Robinson. The film’s screenplay was written by Miles Orion Feldsott (Deadly Class). 51 Minds Entertainment is the production company behind the creation of Beats. The music from the Chicago scene has notably been one of the greatest influences surrounding the story.

All the filming for Beats took place in Chicago.
Principal photography began in June and ran throughout the summer. Filming ended in September, and post-production on the film began on the 6th of September 2018.
It’s surprising how long it’s taken for the film to be released, considering post-production began in September of last year. This unofficial delay in the release may have been down to the fact that the film has original music created by Chicago-based artists.
