LONDON (AP) — “Washington Black” just seemed destined for a screen adaptation. The 2018 novel by Canadian writer Esi Edugyan caught actor Sterling K. Brown’s eye. As he put the wheels in motion, things just started to line up in a most un-Hollywood fashion — so much so that Brown started to believe strongly the project was meant to be.

Hulu’s “Washington Black” arrives, bringing stunning visuals, fantasy adventure, and a complex conversation around identity.

Washington Black' star Ernest Kinglsey Jr. spoke talks working with Sterling K. Brown and the surprising stunt-work the series demanded.

Based on Esi Edugyan’s award-winning novel, Washington Black is an eight-episode miniseries streaming on Hulu and Disney+ internationally.

Washington Black has been a hit with fans since it first aired, but will the show be returning for a second season?

The talented newcomer stars in the Hulu period drama as Tanna, a woman determined to embrace her biracial identity in 1800s Nova Scotia.
