The four-episode, scripted series will tell the story of a 1989 case in which five Harlem teenagers — Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Antron McCray, Korey Wise and Raymond Santana — were wrongfully accused of raping a female jogger in New York’s Central Park.
The actress is one of five women to join Netflix’s upcoming miniseries Central Park Five, the streaming giant announced Friday.
Ava DuVernay (Queen Sugar) will write and direct Central Park Five, which is slated for a 2019 release.
Nash — who is currently starring in TNT’s crime drama Claws — has signed on to play Delores Wise, mother of Korey Wise.
