This Is Us’ Sterling K. Brown next series is described as a “triumphant voyage of daring dreams, steampunk and the magic of the human heart.” Brown is set to star and executive produce Washington Black, a series based on Esi Edugyan’s historical adventure novel. The Twilight Zone writer Selwyn Seyfu Hinds will helm the script for the Hulu limited series.
Washington Black follows the whirlwind 19th century adventures of George Washington (“Wash”) Black—an 11-year-old slave on a Barbados sugar plantation who must flee after a shocking death threatens to upend his life.
