Tangled Waters
4-Season Scripted Mystery Dramedy · Kettering Productions LLC
What happens at sea… doesn't always come back.
Shot aboard Carnival Sunshine & Carnival Miracle
An anthology mystery dramedy set aboard cruise ships, where each season delivers a new voyage, a new ensemble, and a new mystery — with one woman at the center of chaos she didn't sign up for.
White Lotus meets Only Murders in the Building meets The Afterparty.
The Format
Each season opens with someone missing and cuts back 72 hours to watch the mystery unfold in real time. The mystery type shifts every season — disappearance, con, double mystery, framing — so the audience never knows what they're watching until they're already hooked.
Roxy is the constant thread: the accidental investigator who notices what everyone else misses.
