The series first premiered in January 2009. The mystery behind the "Black Dawn" is unravelled across multiple mediums in an unprecedented interactive, cross-platform, story-driven experience. Viewers are able to engage with any of the individual components (TV series, video blogs, comic book, etc.) and move through the story non-linearly, in whatever manner they so choose. ==History== In 2008, ''The Black Dawn'' was conceived and developed as an original web series for WebSerials.com by William Hellmuth & Abraham Sherman.
