Save The Dates: Sterling K. Brown's Washington Black Premiere, New Dora Movie And More

Sterling K. Brown will be back on Hulu this summer, but not in Paradise.

Washington Black, an adventure event series co-starring and executive-produced by the Paradise and This Is Us actor, will premiere Wednesday, July 23 on the streamer, Entertainment Weekly reports.

Adapted from Esi Edugyan's bestselling novel, the nine-episode Washington Black follows the extraordinary 19th-century adventures of George Washington "Wash" Black (newcomer Eddie Karanja), an 11-year-old boy on a Barbados sugar plantation who must flee after a shocking death threatens to upend his life.

Brown plays Medwin Harris, a gregarious, larger-than-life type who traveled the world after a traumatic childhood as a Black refugee in Nova Scotia and takes Wash on as his protégé. The cast also includes Tom Ellis (Lucifer) as Christopher "Titch" Wilde, an eccentric steampunk inventor whose youthful enthusiasm masks an inner vulnerability.
