ABOUT THE SERIES
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Colson Whitehead, THE UNDERGROUND chronicles Cora Randall’s (newcomer Thuso Mbedu) desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. After escaping a Georgia plantation for the rumored Underground Railroad, Cora discovers no mere metaphor, but an actual railroad full of engineers and conductors, and a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Award-winning filmmaker Barry Jenkins serves as showrunner and directs all ten episodes of the limited series.
