Stevie Wonder is producing an Underground Railroad miniseries, writing musical
The man who gave the world Songs In The Key Of Life has decided to dive into the exciting and thankless world of television miniseries production. Deadline reports that Stevie Wonder is producing Freedom Run, an eight-hour miniseries about real people involved in the Underground Railroad, for NBC. The project is an adaptation of Betty DeRamus’ book Forbidden Fruit: Love Stories From The Underground Railroad, telling the stories of three couples struggling against slavery and oppression. This will be Wonder’s first time producing television outside of the occasional musical special or live benefit concert.
