WGN announced today that Harriet will be played by Aisha Hinds, who’s appeared in True Blood and Star Trek Into Darkness.
In the closing scene, Rosalee (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) is hiding when she’s greeted by a badass, shotgun-wielding woman who introduces herself as Harriet.
That’s Harriet Tubman of course, the real-life American hero of the Underground Railroad who smuggled thousands of slaves to freedom and will soon be on the $20 bill.
