Hot off the (chaotic) Oscar win for Moonlight, director Barry Jenkins will next go to work at Amazon, writing and directing a new drama series based on Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad.
Said Barry Jenkins of the new series: Going back to The Intuitionist, Colson’s writing has always defied convention, and The Underground Railroad is no different.
There’s no immediate timetable for The Underground Railroad, but stay tuned for more on Barry Jenkins’ new Amazon series as it arrives.
Sound the alarm: TV has landed yet another of the movies’ best and brightest.
