“Washington Black,” an eight-part limited series based on the novel of the same name by Canadian author Esi Edugyan, premieres Wednesday, July 23, on Hulu. Starring Ernest Kingsley Junior (“War of the Worlds”) as titular character Wash, the epic tale of human strength, kindness and perserverance in the face of persecution also stars Tom Ellis (“Lucifer”) and Sterling K. Brown (“This Is Us”), the latter of whom also serves as an executive producer.

EMaking ‘Washington Black’ Edugyan novel gets adaptation on Hulu
si Edugyan’s work resonates. By envisioning a 1960s-era Ghanaian civil servant who birthed an African American settlement in Amber Valley, Alberta, after he inherited land in her debut novel “The Second Life of Samuel Tyne,” Edugyan paved the way for the breadth of humanity she would go on to cover in her later works.
Fourteen years later in 2018, the Calgary, Alberta, native’s literary world expanded beyond that of her own home province as the epic tale of young George Washington Black led her from Barbados to Nova Scotia and along the Underground Railroad to a new life. Hailed by Kirkus Reviews as “a thoughtful, boldly imagined ripsnorter that broadens inventive possibilities for the antebellum novel,” “Washington Black” — the name of the character and his story — now becomes a television series.
Designed as an eight-part limited series, “Washington Black” premieres Wednesday, July 23, on Hulu.
The story of George Washington Black’s life is a harrowing one, described by the Library Journal as “a life so circumscribed that he’s not even allowed to end it.” Beginning in 1830s Barbados, readers — and now viewers — are introduced to their main character: Washington Black (Ernest Kingsley Junior, “War of the Worlds”), also known simply as “Wash,” an 11-year-old boy born and raised on a sugar plantation and quite literally dying for freedom at his young age.
When he meets the estate owner’s nephew, Christopher “Titch” Wilde (played in the series by “Lucifer’s” Tom Ellis), a sudden traumatic incident forces Wash to flee his imposed routine of hard labor to seek both adventure and education by way of his new connections. For a decade, Wash accepts all the luck, generosity and kindness bestowed upon him, but even years later as he looks back upon the events of his life, Wash wonders why, of all the slaves on Titch’s uncle’s plantation, he was selected to lead a free and fulfilling life.
“As he navigates uncharted lands and impossible odds,” the show’s official description reads, “Wash finds the courage to imagine a future beyond the confines of society.”
Co-showrun and executive produced by Selwyn Seyfu Hinds (“The Twilight Zone”) and Kimberly Ann Harrison (“The Crossover”), “Washington Black” also counts “This Is Us” star Sterling K. Brown among its many executive producers. Interviews to promote the show clearly illustrate Brown’s pride to be a part of the series behind the scenes, although Brown hopes his onscreen role as Medwin Harris also inspires “belief and hope for modern audiences” (per USA Today).
As the “de facto mayor” of Halifax’s Black community, Harris “relishes his role in creating community, knowing that there is safety in numbers,” Brown said in an email statement to USA Today, adding that “through his relationship with this young man [Wash], he [Harris] learns that being safe and being free aren’t necessarily the same thing. And while he tries to teach Wash what is necessary to survive, Wash winds up showing him what it means to truly live.”
“Washington Black” is a coming-of-age story, sure, but it is also so much more than that. Through sweeping vistas of 19th-century agrarian Barbados, up to Norfolk, Virginia — care of a makeshift hot-air balloon — and into Canada, Wash meets with Arctic explorers, fellow inventors and newly freed Black populations looking to start lives and careers of their own. Wash’s experiences speak to the importance of representation and, more than anything else, to the resilience and strength of the human spirit.
“The world has felt like we’re living in darkest night, stumbling to find and hold on to a North Star to make a way forward,” said the show’s cocreator, Hinds, in a piece on BlackFilmandTV.com.
“Like many of us, I’ve felt lost far too often. But writing ‘Washington Black’ these past two years has guided me back home.”
“This tale [is] of the true human superpowers: hope, love, empathy, persistence,” Hinds continued. “Those ideas have been my North Star; the promise that we will get through the long night and take flight like Wash under the light of the sun. This show has been a conduit to that faith for those of us who’ve been creating it, and we’re beyond thrilled to be about the business of sharing it with all of you.”
“Washington Black” also stars Eddie Karanja (“The Sandman”) as young Wash; Iola Evans (“Choose or Die,” 2022) as Wash’s biracial love interest, Tanna Goff; Julian Rhind-Tutt (“Green Wing”) as Erasmus Wilde; Charles Dance (“Game of Thrones”) as James Wilde; Rupert Graves (“Sherlock”) as Tanna’s father, G.M. Goff; Edward Bluemel (“We Might Regret This”) as Billy McGee; Sharon Duncan-Brewster (“Dune: Part One,” 2021) as Miss Angie; Shaunette Renée Wilson (“The Resident”) as Big Kit; and Billy Boyd (“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” 2001) and Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine
(“The Lincoln Lawyer”) as Willard and Gaius, respectively.
“Washington Black” is produced by 20th Television with Indian Meadows Productions and the Gotham Group. Ellen Goldsmith-Vein (“The Maze Runner,” 2014), Maurice “Mo” Marable (“Woke”), Rob Seidenglanz (“The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), D.J. Goldberg (“Percy Jackson and the Olympians”), Wanuri Kahiu (“Rafiki,” 2018), Jeremy Bell (“The Spiderwick Chronicles”), Lindsay Williams (“7500,” 2019), Jennifer Johnson (“Cowboy Bebop”) and Anthony Hemingway (“Underground”) join Hinds, Harrison, Brown and Edugyan as executive producers. Don’t miss your chance to take flight with Wash and company when Edugyan’s epic tale premieres Wednesday, July 23, on Hulu.

‘The Hunting Wives’ welcome a new member
By Sarah Passingham TV Media
Apot of small-town secrets boils over in the sticky southern summer heat in a new murder mystery streaming series.
“The Hunting Wives,” an adaptation of the May Cobb novel, premieres Monday, July 21, on Netflix.
Starring Brittany Snow (“Almost Family”) as Sophie O’Neil, a relative newcomer to a cozy East Texas town, the series follows Sophie as she settles into her new, slower life and gains entry to a glamorous local social circle. New friends spice up Sophie’s quiet new life, but they also bring something dark close to her — it is a thriller, after all. Someone will die and someone in the town is responsible for their death.
Leaving behind an established career in Chicago in hopes of leading a more family-centric life with her husband, Graham (Evan Jonigkeit, “Archive 81”), and young son, Jack (Emmett Moss, “Hazard,” 2024), Sophie said goodbye to magazine publishing in the big city and hello to the kind of family stability that she craved growing up.
After the charm of her new hometown and her abundance of free time become less exciting and more routine, Sophie finds a new source of entertainment — the social media feed of one of the town’s splashiest residents.
The Banks family is a generationally wealthy dynasty that amassed its riches in the East Texas oil boom. Socialite Margo Banks (Malin Akerman, “Dollface”), who married into the legacy name through her husband, Jed (Dermot Mulroney, “Chicago Fire”), is queen bee of the town’s social scene, throwing lavish galas, looking down her nose at her many admirers and generally living a fully staffed life of luxury.
Margo’s social feed catches Sophie’s eye, and that ambition that got her into the lifestyle magazine industry awakens. Soon enough, Sophie is plotting to use her connections to get closer to this bewitching woman who stands out against the monotony of small town Texas life.
“The Hunting Wives” also stars Chrissy Metz (“This Is Us”) as dedicated churchgoer and mother to a teenage girl, Starr; Jaime Ray Newman (“Little Fires Everywhere”) as Margo’s best friend, Callie; Katie Lowes (“Scandal”) as another mom friend of Margo’s, Jill; George Ferrier (“One of Us Is Lying”) as Brad, Jill’s doted-on son; Karen Rodriguez (“Swarm”) as Deputy Sheriff Wanda Salazar; Michael Aaron Milligan (“Outer Banks”) as Kyle; and Hunter Emery (“Orange Is the New Black”) as Deputy Walter Flynn.
Netflix is keeping details of the show under wraps for now, but the novel itself gives us something to go on in the meantime. After getting her first, coveted invite to one of Margo’s fabulous parties hosted at her in-laws’ estate, Sophie
dances around cater waiters and other guests to locate her target. When she finally makes a grand first impression on Margo, Sophie lands a second invitation, this time to a secret Friday night shooting club.
Her number is added to the titular hunting wives’ group text chain and suddenly Sophie is entrusted with the knowledge of their get-togethers. What starts as skeet shooting at dusk on Margo’s lake house property turns into the ladies patronizing an out-of-the-way bar to all but cheat on their husbands.
They all have their reasons for finding solace in cowboys on the dance floor, whether it be revenge or boredom, and keeping Friday night shooting club a secret is just the price of admission to the hunting wives’ exclusive status. With everyone incriminated, the hunting wives’ private lives are as good as confidential, even Margo’s dalliances, which tend to push the boundaries of what they all get up to away from home.
With barely concealed secrets, affairs and grudges hanging in the humid Texas air, it is no surprise that the weight of it all will cause someone to snap. Last April, Snow spoke to MovieWeb while filming the upcoming series in North Carolina, saying, “I think that people are going to be really surprised at how silky and salacious and sexy this show is.”
Lowes had much the same to say to Shondaland last August. Lowes praised the show, saying, “It’s a very, very steamy book. I think people are going to like it. It’s like ‘Big Little Lies’ meets ‘Yellowstone.’” She shared a sliver of insight into the wives, adding, “There’s the preacher’s wife, the mayor’s wife, the governor’s wife, [and] the sheriff’s wife.”
Cobb, author of the novel by which the series is inspired, serves as executive producer of the show alongside showrunner and writer Rebecca Perry Cutter (“Hightown”) and Erwin Stoff (“The Serpent Queen”). Before being picked up by Netflix, “The Hunting Wives” was developed for Starz before becoming a casualty of the separation of Starz and Lionsgate, the co-producer of the series with 3 Arts Entertainment.

Both lead a group of their own, hoping to outshine their competitors, gain
the judge’s approval and earn themselves the champion title. With Seasons 1 and 2 both available on the streamer as of Saturday, July 26, viewers will be transported to Austin, Texas, where chefs like Moe Cason (“World of Flavor with Big Moe Cason”), Chris Lilly (“Life of Fire”), Amy Mills (“Fire Masters”), Rodney Scott (“Chef’s Table: BBQ”) and Brooke Williamson (“Top Chef”) dig in to judge which team does it best. In Season 1, Flay and Symon focus on more traditional barbecue feats — including rib-eye challenges, mastering regional menus and wrangling Texas born beef.
Season 2, however, adds former NFL player Eddie Jackson (“Food Truck Face Off”) as a new captain alongside Flay and Symon, adding not only a third team of ‘cue-ers, but also opening the door to more di-
verse and complicated challenges. Despite a season opener focused on traditional tailgating, Season 2 broadens horizons for all involved, diving into brunch-ready barbecue recipes, fish-forward feasts, international favorites and even “barbecue of the future,” which offers the competitors — and viewers at home — an opportunity to really get creative.

WHAT’S NEW ON NETFLIX
“Happy Gilmore 2” (2025)
Adam Sandler (“Click,” 2006) is heading back to the golf course in “Happy Gilmore 2” (2025). Premiering Friday, July 25, on Netflix. The original cult classic introduced fans to Happy Gilmore (Sandler), a short-tempered hockey player who stumbled into golfing greatness with his signature slapshot swing. Nearly 30 years later, Happy is dusting off his golf clubs once again after his daughter Vienna (Sunny Sandler, “Grown Ups,” 2010) faces a setback in pursuing her dream of attending a prestigious ballet academy due to financial hurdles. With her future on the line, Happy comes out of retirement for one last shot at the pro tour — only to face off against a new group of viral-obsessed golfers and a very familiar foe: longtime nemesis Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald, “Happy Gilmore,” 1996), who’s still holding a grudge. Also reprising their roles are Julie Bowen (“Modern Family”) as Virginia Venit, Ben Stiller (“In the Dark”) as Hal L. and Dennis Dugan (“Jack and Jill,” 2011) as Doug Thompson, with newcomers Eminem (“Funny People,” 2009), Bad Bunny (“Bullet Train,” 2022), Post Malone (“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” 2018), Travis Kelce (“My Dead Friend Zoe,” 2024) and Margaret Qualley (“Maid”). From director Kyle Newacheck (“Workaholics”), “Happy Gilmore 2” is written by Sandler and Tim Herlihy (“Saturday Night Live”), with David Bausch (“Kinda Pregnant,” 2025) and Barry Bernardi (“Pixels,” 2015) serving as executive producers.
WHAT’S NEW ON PRIME VIDEO
“Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War” - Season 2
Stepping into the world of Christian teen culture, “Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War” premieres Wednesday, July 23, on Prime Video. Season 2 of the explosive docuseries “Shiny Happy People” is moving away from the Duggar family and instead is pulling back the curtain with “A Teenage Holy War,” which zeroes in on the rise of Christian pop
music, teen evangelists and the faith-based organizations that weaponized popular culture in the ‘90s and 2000s to draw in and control young believers. While the first season focused on the dark secrets of the Duggar family, “A Teenage Holy War” will tackle the rise and fall of Teen Mania, the once-hugely popular evangelical group behind the touring “Acquire the Fire” stadium shows. This season examines the way Teen Mania used high-pressure tactics and even psychological manipulation to ensure teens at their shows signed purity oaths and pledged their time to the group’s global missions. Directed by Nicole Newnham (“Crip Camp,” 2020) and Cori Shepherd (“Open Heart,” 2013), “Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War” is executive produced by Blye Pagon Faust (“Belly of the Beast,” 2020).
WHAT’S NEW ON PARAMOUNT+
“Hip Hop Was Born Here”
Taking it back to where it all began, “Hip Hop Was Born Here” premieres Tuesday, July 22, on Paramount+. Hosted by LL Cool J (“NCIS: Los Angeles”), the docuseries will chart the creation, evolution and ongoing legacy of hip-hop music. The series takes viewers on a journey through hip-hop history — meeting OGs and future icons, visiting the neighborhoods, studios and places that fostered early styles, as well as watching beloved artists analyze their favorite tracks. Featuring interviews with Big Daddy Kane (“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”), Doug E.
Fresh (“Face/Off,” 1997), Method Man (“Method & Red”), Rev Run (“The Bounty Hunter,” 2010), Bimmy (“Hip Hop Uncovered”), Lady London (“On the Come Up,” 2022) and more, the docuseries brings a new level of insight into how hip-hop first came to be and how it transformed into the global sensation it is today. “Hip Hop Was Born Here” is executive produced by LL Cool J, Stone Roberts (“Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations”), Peyton Manning (“King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch”) and Jamie Horowitz (“One Night: Joshua vs. Ruiz,” 2019).
WHAT’S NEW ON APPLE TV+ “Acapulco” - Season 4
Grab your bags and check into Las Colinas once more when the fourth and final season of “Acapulco” premieres Wednesday, July 23, on Apple TV+. Season 3 followed the fallout from young Maximo’s (Enrique Arrizon, “Marco and Luna,” 2023) misguided decision to reveal the resort’s confidential guest ledger to Alejandro Vera (Jaime Camil, “Jane the Virgin”), unintentionally getting Diane (Jessica Collins, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) and Don Pablo (Damian Alcazar, “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,” 2008) fired and earning himself a promotion as a result. Season 4 follows
present-day Maximo (Eugenio Derbez, “Dora and the Lost City of Gold,” 2019) after buying the rundown Las Colinas resort, determined to restore it to its former glory. As he works to heal old wounds and rebuild broken connections, he confronts the challenges of redemption. Executive produced by Jaime Eliezer Karas (“Abbott Elementary”), Season 4 also stars Fernando Carsa (“Summer of 69,” 2025), Rafael Cebrian (“Borgia”), Vanessa Bauche (“Eva La Trailera”), Camila Perez (“A Teacher”), Carlos Corona (“Gringo,” 2018), Chord Overstreet (“Glee”), Regina Reynoso (“The Accident”) and Regina Orozco (“Get the Gringo,” 2012). “Acapulco” was created by Austin Winsberg (“The Ugly Truth,” 2009), Eduardo Cisneros (“Half Brothers,” 2020) and Jason Shuman (“Lone Survivor,” 2013), along with showrunner Sam Laybourne (“Black-ish”).

hollywood
By Adam Thomlison TV Media
Q: I’ve been rewatching “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and I recognized the young guy playing Hilary’s boyfriend Ice Tray. Who is it?
I’m guessing I know him as an older man?
A: Most of us know Don Cheadle (“Crash,” 2004) as an older man — he’s one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. It goes to show that even multi-award-winning, writer-producer-actors have to start somewhere.
But actually, that wasn’t even his start. Cheadle had been a struggling actor for a few years before he appeared in the first season of the hit sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” in 1990.
His first role was actually five years earlier, as an unnamed fast-food worker in 1985’s “Moving Violations,” a screwball comedy about drivingschool students. The roles grew gradually from there, but it took 10 years before he landed what’s generally thought of as his breakout role in 1995’s “Devil in a Blue Dress,” which earned him multiple award nominations.
Of course, keen TV heads will remember that before that breakout role, he had a series-regular role in “Golden Palace,” the “Golden Girls” spinoff that ran for a season from 1992 to 1993. Plus, he had a recurring role as D.A. Littleton in “Picket Fences” at the time as well.
Cheadle was far from the only big name to drop in on “The Fresh Prince.” Other future stars such as Milo Ventimiglia (“This Is Us”), Michael Clarke Duncan (“The Green Mile,” 1999) and Chris Rock (“Saturday Night Live”) had early roles across the show’s six-season run.
Q: What ever happened to Wentworth Miller from “Prison Break”?
A: After going from near-obscurity to being one of the biggest stars on TV, Wentworth Miller (“Underworld,” 2003) branched out a little, then did more “Prison Break,” then settled into a long-running role in a whole new universe. But “Prison Break” still won’t quite let him go.
His role as Michael Scofield, a building engineer who essentially breaks into prison to help his brother break out, brought the young Miller to fame in 2005. When it initially ended in 2009, Miller leapt at the chance to try new things.
For example, he starred in the hit horror-action film “Resident Evil: Afterlife” in 2010, and then branched out into writing and producing with the award-winning 2013 indie film “Stoker.”
Soon after, Miller took on the role of Leonard Snart, also known as Captain Cold, in the DC Comics series “The Flash” on The CW. He kept that up while also appearing, in the same role, in the sister series “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” part of the wider DC universe that CW had going on.
But even with all that on his plate, he couldn’t resist the invitation to return to his “Prison Break” role when Fox aired a revival season in 2017.
And now, he’s returning to those days again, in a fashion: he and “Prison Break” co-star Dominic Purcell (“Blade: Trinity,” 2004) are reportedly working on a new show together. “Snatchback” is about a team of hostage rescuers and is said to be based on a true story.
But before you get too excited, I should warn you: news of this first broke a year ago and nothing else has been said since, so this one may be dead in the water.
