Official Trailer: Hulu’s “Washington Black”

Hulu has unveiled the official trailer for the eight-episode period drama “Washington Black” based on the bestselling novel of the same name.

The series follows the 19th-century odyssey of George Washington ‘Wash’ Black, an 11-year-old boy born on a sugar plantation in Barbados. Sporting a prodigious scientific mind, he’s forced to flee following a harrowing incident.

From there he’s thrust into an adventure across the globe, through uncharted lands and against impossible odds, which challenges and reshapes his understanding of family, freedom, love and destiny – finding a future beyond the confines of the society he was born into.

Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown plays the role of Medwin Harris, who serves as a mentor to Wash. Also starring are Ernest Kingsley Jr., Rupert Graves, Iola Evans, Edward Bluemel, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Eddie Karanja, and Tom Ellis.

The series is executive produced by showrunners Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, and Kimberly Ann Harrison. Also executive producing are Brown, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Wanuri Kahiu, Mo Marable, Rob Seidenglanz, Jeremy Bell, Lindsay Williams, D.J. Goldberg, Jennifer Johnson, and Anthony Hemingway.

All eight episodes will be available for streaming July 23rd on Hulu in the U.S., and on Disney+ internationally.
