Variety is reporting that Oscar and Golden-Globe winner Barry Jenkins’ (Moonlight) Amazon series The Underground Railroad has found three of its main cast members.
No release date has been set for The Underground Railroad, but the series will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
After escaping her Georgia plantation for the rumored Underground Railroad, Cora discovers no mere metaphor, but an actual railroad full of engineers and conductors, and a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the southern soil.
The limited series will chronicle Cora’s journey as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South.
