The new limited series Washington Black will debut online on Hulu on July 23.
Based on the bestselling novel of the same name, the series follows the 19th-century odyssey of George Washington “Wash” Black (Eddie Karanja as young Wash and Ernest Kingsley, Jr. as grown up Wash), an eleven-year-old boy born on a Barbados sugar plantation, whose prodigious scientific mind sets him on a path of unexpected destiny. When a harrowing incident forces Wash to flee, he is thrust into a globe-spanning adventure that challenges and reshapes his understanding of family, freedom and love. As he navigates uncharted lands and impossible odds, Wash finds the courage to imagine a future beyond the confines of the society he was born into.
The series includes Sterling K. Brown, Rupert Graves and Tom Ellis among its cast.
