Move this one to the top of your reading list: Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me will be an HBO special this fall, the premium cabler announced Thursday.
Between the World and Me was published in 2015 and was written as a letter to Coates’ teenage son.
This Is Us star Susan Kelechi Watson, along with Coates and his longtime friend/Apollo Theater executive producer Kamilah Forbes, will executive-produce the special.
“I can think of no one better to put Between the World and Me on screen and no better home for it than HBO.”
