The 19th-century adventures of George Washington “Wash” Black, an 11-year-old boy on a Barbados sugar plantation, is the focus of new eight-part series, Washington Black.

Starring Sterling K. Brown, Tom Ellis, Ernest Kingsley Junior and Rupert Graves, young George must flee when the life he’s known is threatened after a gruesome death.

I’m down for the uplifting adventure this one promises, and happy to see Brown bring his best to every role, as always. My only hope is that Washington Black won’t make me cry as much as This Is Us, the award-winning show that put him on the map in a big way.

Eddie Karanja, Iola Evans, Billy Boyd, Tom Ellis, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Naika Toussaint, Tattiawna Jones, Rick Worthy, Julian Rhind-Tutt and Nia Thompson also star.

Washington Black Release Dates: July 23rd, 2025 (US)…

Happy Film Loving,
