'Kindred', a TV adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's novel of the same name, is headed to Hulu this December.
Kindred, the TV adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's influential and most celebrated 1979 novel will premiere exclusively on Hulu on December 13. The new drama series will include eight episodes helmed by Watchmen alum Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, with Mallori Johnson playing the lead role of Dana James. The television series will shortly become accessible on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in all other markets under the Star name.
The announcement was made during a Kindred panel presentation at New York Comic-Con, which featured showrunner and executive producer Jacobs-Jenkins and several cast members. The "genre-breaking" series will center around Dana, a young Black woman and aspiring writer who has ditched her life of familial obligation and commitment and moved to Los Angeles, determined to pursue a future that feels entirely hers.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Being a fan of the book, Jacobs-Jenkins shared via Entertainment Weekly that while his adaptation will not replace the original, it will delve further into some characters and settings. "It's been about 40 years since the book was released. It's about refreshing the themes and asking ourselves how they may have been challenged or expanded upon by the rich evolution of social thought since.
There are still more details to be revealed, but one thing is certain: the Kindred television adaptation will soon grace your screens on December 13 on Hulu. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
