Saturn Award nominee Tonya Pinkins co-stars, alongside the likes of Ray Fisher (True Detective, Justice League) and Emmy winner Glynn Turman (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Fargo, In Treatment).
Created and written by Emmy nominee Marissa Jo Cerar (The Fosters, The Handmaid’s Tale), with four women directors – Black Reel Award winners Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Secret Life of Bees, Beyond the Lights, and the forthcoming The Woman King) and Tina Mabry (Queen Sugar, Pose, Insecure), and Black Reel Award nominees Kasi Lemmons (Harriet) and Julie Dash (The Rosa Parks Story) – the show’s executive producers include Will Smith and Jay-Z.
