Straight Outta Compton producer Will Packer and The Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder’s new alternate-reality drama has been unveiled as Black America, with a very different premise.
It’s likely that Black America makes it to market first, on account of Confederate taking a backseat to Game of Thrones’ final season, so might HBO further rethink its new series?
More recently, McGruder co-created Adult Swim’s Black Jesus, which imagines an African-American Jesus Christ living in modern Compton, California.
Pushback on HBO’s modern slavery drama Confederate understandably rages, and Amazon’s response is most intriguing of all.
