This 2022 produced, 2023 filmed television series was based on the true story and focuses on the unsung women spies who General Ulysses S. Grant credited for turning the tide of the American Civil War in favour of the North.  The women included a Richmond Socialite and her daughter, a formerly enslaved African American, and a courtesan who together formed the first successful female spy ring, operating right under the noses of the Confederate High Command. The series is scheduled to premiere on U.S. TV on the Paramount Network sometime later this year.
